I'm a novice using the ST system, and I know some people out there can
answer some of the questions I have, so here goes......

First, I was wondering how much getting a complete system to emulate the
PC (PC Ditto II, 5 1/2" drive, switcher from 3 1/4", etc.) on a 1040ST 
would cost, and how compatible PC Ditto II is with IBM software.

Second, what is the difference between Magic Sac and Spectre GCR and how
much would that cost to be able to emulate a Mac?

Finally, I was wondering if someone could forward names of some application
programs that run on the ST that you like but aren't found on the IBM  (I
would like some more stuff to justify buying a 1040 to my parents).

Anything else about emulating an IBM or Mac or the emulation programs would
be appreciated.

Advanced thanks.
