Cool. I didn't know about those early mechanical models. I didn't wake up 
to macs until about the Mac II days. I did have a friend with a IIGS. I 
remember playing the Bards' Tale series on there. So, I must have used it 
before. 

I was disappointed that they didn't take the IIGS further as a hardware 
platform, but that's only because I loved my SNES (and yes, also my 
Genesis). IIRC, the IIGS has the same processor as a SNES with a 16bit 
bus, no? I like the design of the GS, too.
