- Unfortunately, this is not 100% correct: I have seen one at the local
- Apple dealer. WAIT: it was a beta (omega?) release and evyrthing but
- finished, but Einstein succesfully poked himself into the monitor and
- started a great confusion in the "IIGS ROM". If anyone is interested in
- it, I can ask Mr. Brunner what happened to this piece of software.

- BTW: I said unfortunately because you will never have this unique
- GS-felling on an emulator, for example, on a mac you will never
- encounter the situation when the top case of the GS iomplodes only
- because you've put some disks onto the montior. GREAT....
