Anyone know what changes have been made in the GS hardware since it
first came out?  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.)
