...erm... Hobbes?  No, that's OS2...  Simtel had a whole bunch of
apps, I think.  But then, I don't know where simtel is anymore.
On the MP3 field, at least, I can tell you this much:  If the IIcx
is a 680x0-class machine, MacAmp won't support it.  He claims that 
the 68000 doesn't have enough guts to decode mp3s.  

If you find out differently, though, I'd love to get my little 68020
playing music -- even if it is downmixed to 8bit.  I just want that
think to do something more than play solitaire. :)
