My mother has recently inherited a 128K Macintosh, and,
while she is willing to invest a little money in software,
is not (at this time) up to spending even the $300 to
upgrade it to a 512K (but still obsolete).

Since my own background is in IBM 370 & PC, with a little
recent Amiga and Atari, I've never really kept up with
Macintosh software. Is there an Old Software Home out
there somewhere that sells software which will run on
a 2-floppy 128K Mac? What about Public Domain / Shareware?

In a similar vein, does anyone know where I can find
information on adding an external (say 14") monitor
to one of these beasties? Computer Shopper's Hackintosh
articles have been helpful, but not quite specfic enough.
The original warranty is, let us say, no longer of much
concern...

Any help will be appreciated. Ad (Thanks) vance...
