  Our department just received a shipment of 20 Mac II's (5 Meg ram, 40 Meg
internal disk, enhanced keyboard, monochrome (soon to be color) monitors).
Since the computers are accessable to most faculty and students in the 
department, our department head would like some demo programs to basically
'show off' the new machines.  Since everyone at Drexel already owns Macs
(Mac+'s), what we need to show off are the major enhancements.  Therefore,
if anyone has any demo programs in the following 'areas', I would greatly
appreciate it.  We don't have any (legal) compilers for the Mac II yet, so
programs should be in a BinHex-type format.

	1. Performance increase of using native 68881 floating point 
	   instructions versus normal software emulation.
	2. Programs showing off grayscales/colors.  Something dynamic (ie.
	   rotating sphere) would be nice.
	3. Applications without window size limitations.  Right now, we have
	   4 monitors/video boards hooked up to one Mac, but so far we haven't
	   found any applications that let you expand the window past 1 full
	   screen.  Note that this doesn't have to be a demo program, but could
	   could just be a pointer to a commercial application (which we might
	   already have).
	4. Something to show off the improved sound chip.

  As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.
