>Some programs may have problems with 32-bit QuickDraw, which is builtin >to the IIci. Others may not be playable due to the speed of the machine. Chuck Yaeger's Flight Simulator works on a IIci. As on all color Macs, it uses only 16 colors, though. In addition, try it out before you buy it: I am a Microsoft FS veteran (both on PC's and Mac Pluses) and, even in B&W on a Plus, I used to have more fun with it than in color on a IIci with Chuck Yaeger's. The terrain info is great in Microsoft's FS. Now if only you could fly more planes and have color and more detailed terrain info.... Carlo carlo@cvs.rochester.edu
