Me too. I have a IIgs I was given that came with covers for the monitor and keyboard. I have a huge wad of copied disks with all kinds of programs I'm testing on an "it works / it's dead" basis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Also, I'm wondering what software for the IIGS has become abandonware > nowadays.
