We have found some extra funds that might go towards
buying a Mac or two, and the following questions have
come to mind:

	1) If I use the Mac for typing documents, how
	easy/difficult is it to get them to my main
	computer (running 4.2) for printing? Any rumors
	about the date of the new laser printer and its
	price?


	2) How easy/hard is it to program (say in BASIC);
	is it reasonably easy to use windows and access
	files? Are there any particularly good C compilers
	available yet?

	3) If I use it as a terminal on my desk, how
	fast will it run to the mainframe (9600, 4800, ?)?
	Is MacTerminal a good package; are there better
	ones?

	4) If I get a 128K Mac, how big a document can
	I comfortably work with (assume one disk drive)?

Answers to these questions and any other info that might
be helpful would be greatly appreciated.
