With all these handheld devices....wouldn't it be neat to have a handheld
IIgs-compatible device.....if not the hardware structure, maybe an emulator
burned to a chip..using CompactFlash cards for data and apps.....and in this
fantasy of mine....software developed for this device could be downloaded to
a real IIgs and run....perhaps ... Might be neat to play The Immortal or
Bard's Tale on a handheld device!
