A local semi-chain store dealer went bankrupt and is selling various Apple and IBM PC stuff at about half-price. Since we were already quarelling over who got to use the GS I had when, I went out and got a new system. The new one has the "WOZ" signature, but immediately we noticed two differences from the old one: the desktop screen in the new one is pure grey (slightly moireed), whereas the one in the old one was red/white/black/grey. Teen-age network says that is because the first models had "defective" video chips. Second difference was that Sargon II (yes, an old program) did not work on the first GS I have (bought in November of 86) but does work fine on the new one. No idea what the production date of the new on is. I will confont my dealer with the differences, but thought I'd see if anyone else knew anything. No word from Apple about any upgrades or fixes, even though I know I'm registered (got the fancy WOZ certificate.) Ted Lee, Minneapolis
