Please help me build an Apple IIGS for my son

Hi,

I ask this in comp.emulators.apple2, but maybe someone here can help.

I am teaching my son Apple IIGS programming using TML Pascal II (I
can't find a good programming environment for PC/Mac for Basic/Pascal
which allows fast development with graphics and animation without
knowing the windowing system and framework). Since I no longer have
my
Apple IIGS, I wanted to build an Apple IIGS out of either PC or Mac -
since I have an Intel-based Mac Mini - using emulators running full
screen Apple IIGS all time.

The question is: what options do I have? Does KEGS, Sweet 16, etc,
allowing access to home network or Internet? Printing? Which is a
better IIGS hosting environment, Windows or Mac OS X (my Intel Mac
can't run Bernie anymore)? Any issues will I encountered?

If possible, I want my son not to be aware that there is a hosting OS
below it, so it will boot from OS and launch Apple IIGS in full
screen. Any suggestions are welcome.

Apple II Forever!
