I certainly agree that sound is very important, and the more colours the
better.

Do you want me to list off a 100 publishers of educational software? Just
as an example consider Broderbrund and their Carmen series. Then look at whetherGS versions are available for their latest offerings...Moreover, there are
many situations where GS versions can be bought, but ONLY by schools and 
not individuals. The individuals (us) would have to buy IIe versions which
I refuse to do with the exception of ProTERM and InWords which was supposed
to be GS'd in 1.1...Don't get me going on this as I might say something I'll
regret!
