The GS has so much potential. Its capabilities are somewhat dated.320x200 graphics-that went away a long time ago. I really can appreciate its potential but could someone from Apple explain why they continue to sell such a weak platform to its loyal users. Either beef it up or junk it. Don't insult us.
