A local Apple dealer had a REALLY slick graphics/sound demo programm
running on their sole Mac II.  Actually, it seemed to be a demo
runner with various demos.  The program was quite small - maybe
20k, but the demo files were 10 or 20 *MEG* apiece!

But they were great - Color pictures like the famous log&spheres 
screen are displayed while georgeous orchestal music plays in 
the background (sounds hi-fi to me!)

Too bad I don't have the hard disk or the Apple's vaprous tape
drive!
