Well, we finally got that CI we've been wanting :-)... I do have a few
questions, however...

1) Is there a MAC equivilent to the Amiga's "Fish Disk" series? That is,
   a series of respected, regularly distributed PD Disks? I can think of
   several I-assume-exist-as-PD programs I'd like: First and foremost
   a straight ASCII text editor.

2) I read an issue or two ago in "MacWorld" (I think) about a plug-in
   card which lets you sample sound directly onto the computer's hard
   drive, using about 10 MG a minute, at the same sampling rate that
   Compact Discs use. Has anyone used this? I'm interested in acquiring
   this system for sound restoration purposes -- that is, something
   WAY beyond "E.Q.'ing" -- knocking out frequencies altogether, 
   clicking out "pops and clicks", etc. 

3) Here's an off-the-wall thought: There are PC programs which allow you
   to run your PC from remote locations (like, say, work). Since I have
   that 80386 box lying around (monitorless), is there anything I can run
   on the MAC to access it (I guess I could do it running "SoftPC" (or
   whatever it's called, and then running one of the aforementioned PC
   link programs :-)). I'm using a NEC3D monitor with BOTH systems, and
   (obviously) hate switching the connector (I'm hesitant to use a switch
   box, as well, fearing the health of the monitor...).

			Thank you in advance for your assistance!
