And of course, high-res spreadsheets, DTP, and graphic development
engines are available? No... I doubt there's a lot of useful
software available for either, so it will really depend on which gets
out first. Personally, I'm more interested in the TR, since it has
what most GS users have wished to see for years: high speed blitting
capabilities. I was disappointed to hear the Z180 was used for the
SS card, since it seems like it was just selected for its cheapness
and familiarity to the designers, rather than its prowess as a
graphics processor. Oh well, I shouldn't complain, it's better than
nothing, and it is almost selling.
