GX was initially released in about January 1994, as a separate package. Version 1.1.1 was bundled with System 7.5 later that year. The system was received with a dull thud. The package was large enough to strain the memory of most existing Macintosh computers of the era, and arguments like "you can now print to PostScript" were less than impressive considering many existing programs had already added such support. Users and developers generally ignored GX, and a "market" for the system simply never appeared.
