Between the ancient Apple IIs at my elementary and middle school, and the jump to Amigas and 386-class PCs, I totally missed out on the IIGS, thinking it was just a slight upgrade to the Apple II computers I remember. Recently I was trolling around retrocomputer forums and came across the /r/apple2 and was blown away by some of the IIGS stuff I saw there. Easily the equal capability-wise to the Amiga, Atari ST or Acorn Archimedes.
