My God, I'm surprised this thing is still going on.

I was an Apple IIGS fanatic for the longest time.  I officially left to
the PC world at a time when 450Mhz was considered respectable.
Now more than four times faster than that is typical and less than
two years has passed.  That's an eternity in computer time.

I have equipped my IIGS with just about everything, completely
maxed it out.  8MB of RAM, Second Sight video card, CD-ROM,
Zip drive, Focus and SCSI drives (an entire GB of storage), a
souped up TransWarp IIGS which itself was accelerated, and
the best IIGS software out there.  I was proud to support the
software and hardware vendors and writers for the IIGS.  But I
would have assumed that things would have dried up to a large
extent by now.  I know there is much less hardware and software
options.  Fanatics like myself has bought almost everything and
newbies don't seem to want to go that route.

What's left to show off at KansasFest?
You don't mention the LANceGS ethernet card, nor the Spectrum Suite of internet apps, nor the Orca CDs holding all the Orca product line, these have been shown at recent KFests, as well as a new game, and other assorted software. You are right, things have slowed down, but if there's something new, it most likely will be seen at KFest first. Check with the people at A2Central.com.
