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... > It's not all that hard, Much simpler then Amiga Stuff. Now that's sad but true... :^( -- Victor Vargas G. Amiga 3D animation & video graphics/Mac DTP
