I am writing in support of the Apple GS and in agreement with
the letter from Philip Mc Dunough which appeared recently on this
news group. I own a Mac ll, a Mac SE/30 and a GS and I also use
a Sun workstation and numerous IBM- type machines on the job.
I must say that for sheer versatility and 'fun' of use the GS is by
far my favorite. Not only is it a responsive and intelligent terminal
in a UNIX environment but it is also a very good computer to use for
business or educational purposes that is a lot of fun to use.The
colors are exquisite and the sound capabilities spectacular.
It's easy to program and its compatibility can range from that of
the elementary school student to the family user and the sophisticated
professional or academic. I'm talking about the GS right now.
If Apple chooses to speed it up it can only get better.
As these news groups attest there is a wealth of programming talent
out there right now writing excellent public domain software for the
GS. May they continue. It's easy to find something wrong with any
type of modern electronic marvel. I spent the whole weekend looking
at laptops and aside from the Mac Portable with its superhigh price
didn't see anything that didn't have serious flaws.
Lets use and enjoy the GS and look forward to future developments
of this very versatile machine.
