Hello, I am interested in getting another computer and would like to hear what people have to say is a good buy. I have a ][e and want IBM compatiblity. I need a more powerful system to handle the work I do with graphics. I also have about 300 disk sides of ][e software and data. My questions are should I keep the ][e and get the PC transporter and live with the graphics or should I get a ][gs and the PC transporter and sell my ][e. Also can the software I have run on the ][gs. Any and all information on this would be appreciated. I am leaning towards the ][gs system and would also like to know more about it. Thanks in advance, R. Allen Wilkinson National Bureau of Standards Gaithersburg MD "A Quig?? What's a Quig?" "I don't know but KILL it!" ------

(If you need 5.25" IBM diskette compatibility, you'll also need an IBM-compatible disk drive. Apple 3.5 drives can be used for both purposes. Hard disk highly recommended.) The vast majority of //e software will work on the IIGS, although there are a few exceptions (usually caused by the programmer using undocumented monitor entry points).
