While I'm disappointed that it wasn't, I am heartened by two announcements that were made: 1. OS/GS It looks like the 32 Meg ProDOS barrier is about to be broken. (Yes, I read Keith Rollin's posting that it is not to be right now. However, something like that *has* to come in the near term.) 2. Applied Engineering is about ready to ship the IIgs version of the TransWarp. Hopefully, this time they will have an external switch to change speed settings. Given the above, all I need now is for my 100 shares of stock I'm going to sell to go up $2 per share and I'm in! (Now the only thing I need the IIgs+ for is to somehow increase the available slots as was described in the long drawn out net vapor that got all the IIgs+ talk going in the first place.)
