 Hello,

  I am considering buying the Atari Stacy with a Macintosh emulation
package, as a replacement of the highly-priced Mac-laptop.
  Since I am new to the Atari world I would appreciate any answer to any
of the following questions:

 1. What is the best Macintosh emulation package available?
 2. How well does it emulate the Mac? Can one run ANY program that runs
    on a real Mac ?  I am especially interested in the different software
    packages to define fonts, and then using the fonts in different
    word-processors available for the Mac.
 3. Is it really compatible in the sense that one can have a diskette
    and work with the same software & data one day on a Mac and the other
    on an Atari ST ?
 4. How much memory does the emulation package consume ?
 5. Does anyone have already some experience with the Stacy and such an
    emulation package? How does the performance of a Mac software run
    on the Stacy compare with, say, a Mac Plus or a Mac SE ?

Please send any answers to me at adiro@taurus.bitnet or adiro@math.tau.ac.il .
I will summarize and post if there is interest.

  Thanks in advance

   Adi Rosen
