Yeah, same here...  Consider this a "Me too!"  Please post reponses, &
anyone want to compile a list?

Starters:
	AutoDoubler/DiskDoubler or SpaceSaver/Stuffit Deluxe 3.0. ($$)
	Stuffit Expander (Free--Version 3.0 due 'this month').
	BBEdit 2.2 (Free--Text editor) or
	Alpha 5.2 ($25 shareware--Text editor), or both.
	Now Utilities (a must-have for ANY Macintosh).
	Applicon (Free--Shows what applications are running).
	Disinfectant (Free--Anti-Virus program).
	QuicKeys 2 ($$ -- Macro & Shortcuts package).
	SuperClock 3.9.1 (Free--Menubar clock w/ battery display).

Also -- Any suggestions for the following problem?  I got my PB160
4/40 yesterday morning; I currently have 8.7 megs free, and am TRYING
to get onto the network, but NCSA Telnet 2.4 doesn't seem to work, &
MacTCP isn't available to me... :(  I also wouldn't mind getting
Eudora up & running...
