Hi!

	WOW!  I am certainly surprised if the numbers are correct that 
only about 500 or 600 SSC cards have been sold.  I know the IIGS market 
isn't huge, but I think there are a lot more GS users out there, but 
haven't purchased it.  For what reason, I don't know. 

	Something that I have also been thinking about related to SSC and 
othe stuff produced for the GS commerically.  How have the remaining 
companies managed to make any type of money off the GS market?  Or are 
they losing money?  I don't know how much $$$ it took produce the SSC, but 
with such low sales figures, it's awfully hard to make money unless you 
made your product very cheaply.  BTW, I'm not implying the SSC is cheap 
(in case anyone thought so!)  

	Well, let's hope the sales pick up and the GS lives on with 
companies still being able to support for many years to come.
