First advice: REGISTER! It makes the Mac emulation way faster, you can use
color (and a Mac in B&W is truly a very Sad Mac) and it encourages
Christian to keep improving SShifter (hopefully MMU support soon.. :^)
Then get a BIG drive, at least a 500 MB for all the Mac software you'll
likely be downloading soon...
BTW: be warned that Netscape 2.x doesn't work in B&W! The last version
that did was 1.2, still at some FTP sites...
