Since you insist on using the "MeSsy DOS" expression, please note that
the DOS/OS-2/AIX world supports the high density drives.You wouldn't
have to be posting this message if you weren't using a computer that is
badly supported by a virtual monopoly. 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. Why
can't I at least have readable text,a tektronics' emulation package,
decent printing capabilities(eg. to an HP Painjet or DeskWriter),...?
