With all this talk about Apple Vision, I'm surprised no one has brought 
up Roger Wagner's demo at KansasFest a few years back. My memory may be a 
little spotty, but as I remember it, he was showing off HyperStudio using 
a Video Overlay Card. I guess he'd taped Apple Vision by connecting a VCR 
to the composite out jack, and then he created a HyperStudio stack whose 
main screen was meant to look like a movie theater. Playing on the screen 
of the 'movie theater' was Apple Vision. 

It was like a meeting of the old Apple II and the new Apple II. Lots of 
the Apple II old-timers went beserk when they saw it.

Speaking of Bob Bishop, the last time I ran into him was at AppleFest 
1987 and he handed me a disk of software that he'd created to show off the 
graphics capabilities of the IIGS. Surprise of surprise...all the software 
was written to run under DOS 3.3. I uploaded that to The Source when I 
sysop'ed their Apple II area, and heard all sorts of "I didn't know that 
you could write GS specific software that ran under DOS 3.3." Bob Bishop 
could.
