Re: $1225 for an Apple IIGS???

[Yves McDonald <""yves.mcdonald\"@NO SPAM sympatico.ca>]

Something's wrong: a diskette but no floppy drive included?  Where are 
the manuals?  I received a User Manual, Installation Guide and a Touch 
Of Applesoft Booklet with my GS.
I'm not sure I like this Apple collectible craze even if I own many 
pieces of Apple 2 hardware.  It drives prices up for spare parts.  My GS 
is marvelously equiped compared to what's been sold for $1225 and I had 
it real cheap.  I'll check my serial # too but I don't expect big 
surprises there 'cuz I have ROM 3 :).
