Well, it finally arrived, the Mac II that our department ordered
way back in June. Anyways, I love it and I want one.
Unfortunately it's a monochrome, but that's still better than
nothing, we would've had to wait until January to a get a color
monitor, so we opted for a monochrome. However, somehow another
department got a color mac. Don't know how, but they did.
However, since they have to have us setup the Mac II, I got a
chance to play with it for a bit. I got a hold of the Kolor CDEV
and played with that for a while and was impressed by the grays
that it could do. I then took it and put it on this Color Mac
that we had and played with that and had a lot of fun with that
also. The colors on the Mac II are great! A friend gave me the
program Mesmer which does some real simple quick-draw routines,
but does them in Gray-scale or color. On the color Mac it was
very good. Kolor CDEV seems to work fine on a monochrome Mac II.
I like the ability to play with the colors/grays that the menus
can use. 

I was really impressed by the ability to select your alert bell
sound. My question is, where can I get more sounds for it and how
do I install them? Someone at Apple has this 45 second cut of
Money for Nothing as his bell... I have SuperPlay and a few sound
files (they look like ordinary documents) and I was wondering if
it would be possible to incorporate these files into the sound
CDEV. The files are "I'm sorry I can't do that Dave," by Hal, a
Max Headroom cut, a dog barking, and a few beeps. As far as I
know they are in ASND sound format. At least that's what
SuperPlay is insisting they are. 

Any help for me here?
