            IIE-TO-IIGS UPGRADES:  WHERE ARE THEY????

I've noticed a lot of IIgs systems being advertised on the network lately,
many of them going for give-away prices.  (Locally in Greenville SC, IIgs
systems with printer have been selling for $700-$900, much more than the
net bargains.)

The IIgs systems being sold are the "modern" style, with box main unit,
detached keyboard, etc.   But where are the "IIe to IIgs upgrade" models?
Some persons, such as myself, prefer the attached sloping keyboard of the
traditional IIe style.  Thousand of the motherboard upgrades were sold
but this model has not been advertised, at least none that I have noticed.
Are the owners of the IIe/IIgs upgrades holding steadfastly onto them??

I would suggest that sellers advertising their IIgs computers should state

I would suggest that sellers advertising their IIgs computers should state
clearly the casing style so that buyers will choose what they prefer.  I
wish, eventually, to get the IIgs in the IIe casing at a reasonable low
cost but have not seen them announced in the ads.
