I got hooked on computer with the Apple IIc and then later the Apple IIe. What started as a hobby has now become my profession. I still think computers were more fun back in my 8-bit days.
Anyway, I still have a couple IIc's and IIe's along with a IIgs that was
given to me. When they were first introduced, I was never very impressed with the
IIgs, and as such have not used the one that was given to me.
My question is for those of you with more experience than myself, am I
missing out on something? Is the gs the II of choice by most of you, or were my
first impressions correct?
What are most of you using?
Thanks, Ron
When I first got my GS, I used it as a "super //e" with more memory, a better monitor, and a better keyboard. Eventually, I got a hard drive and a 4 meg card and started using GSOS and collecting the software that uses it. I still use classic AppleWorks regularly, but everything else I use on it is 16-bit. The wonderful thing about it is that I can still connect 1 or 2 of my 5.25" drives, and boot into DOS 3.3 to run integer basic programs if I ever need to, so I have the best of both 8 and 16 bit worlds. If I need more power I use my G4 iMac. :)
