Hi,

I finally decided on getting a MAcintosh computer after debating about the
choices between Mac's and MS-DOS machines.  (Yes, I know, I actually
considered a MS-DOS computer)  I am new to the MAc world and have been
collecting any information on them I can get my hands on, but I am still a
bit confused.  

	I am getting a MAc for purely personal use, mostly for word
processing, desktop publishing (which I understand Mac's excel at) and
personal recoed keeping (Hypercard?) with a little games playing in the
interim, and I also need a telecommunications package.  I am trying to decide
between a Mac+
and an SE, and I need to know what the advantage of spending the extra $500
for the SE is, or for my use if I will be happy with the Mac+ and not have
to worry about not being supported.  Is it too late to buy a Mac+, because
of so many newer models, or can I be assured of support for this "older"
machine?  

	Also, I wish to know if I can connect any printer to a Mac, and be
able to use packages such as Aldus PAgemaker 3.0?  Or do I have to
buy an Imagewriter II?  One final question, can I hook up any modem
to a Mac just by using a special interface cable, or do I need to
buy a Mac modem? 

Any and all help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Please reply
via E-Mail.
