Hi. Me again.

       I have heard in circles that the Spectre GCR is faster than a 8MHz Mac
Plus. Just how much faster is faster? I you can, maybe you could give me some
benchmarks for comparison. Thanxs.

       Also, I am thinking of trading my 520STfm up to an STE. I would like to
keep my Mono monitor even though it shuts me out of some neat stuff. I know
it has probably been posted before, but what are the improvements in the 
graphics on an STE? If the improvements are mostly just with colors, I'll keep
the MONOmonitor. I really want 1meg, a DS/DD, and cool sound, so it sounds like
the STE might be for me? BTW, How much does a STE cost?
