I agree...When Apple first came out with the //gs, the II and II+ users for
all intents and purposes were deserted.  Software support dropped to almost 
zero, and everything was built ot written to use the extra 64K on the 80
column card...What about the //+ users with 128K Ram cards.... Left out in
the cold....Now new ROM updates on the GS....where do the current //gs owners
get left...in the cold.  It would seem to me that Apple should be a little 
more careful with their current customer base....  I have yet to see some
real efforts to support the user base that has MADE Apple over the past 9
years....  time to move on....
