any mistakes herein.

OK, I've finally broke down and got myself a MacII over the weekend (yay!)
and in the process, got rid of my faithful Mac{128->512->Plus}

Since I'm a newcomer in MacIIland, I need some advice(s):

1)  Any program (commercial or otherwise) that you MacII veterans
    consider a "MUST HAVE" for the MacII?
    I have a 5meg, 1-floppy, Apple extended color, CMS Pro80 thingy.
2)  Any screen blanker/saver better than PYRO!?  I've heard about AutoIdle
    but don't know where to look for it.
3)  My RadioShack external speaker doesn't work anymore.  Do I need a new
    audio plug?  Stereo to mono converter?
4)  Any backdrop INIT that works with a COLOR backdrop?

advTHANKSance.  =-LieTB->
