If I get something like an Amiga 3000 with 8MB or thereabouts, how much extra $$ will I have to spend to get some of my (rather pedestrian) Mac software to run on it, so I can toss one or both of my Macs? Critical applications I need to be able to run include MacMoney, and, actually, probably not much else, though it'd be nice to be able to run Hypercard and a few other things. (Gaming isn't important.) Also, any ideas how various Mac emulators would interact with Amiga UNIX -- i.e. do I just run an application and bingo, Mac windows -- is that how it works under AmigaOS (or whatever it's called)? -- or do I reboot under a special emulation mode, or something like that? Respond via definitive posts; unfortunately, I don't really have the time to post a summary of email responses, so even though I'm happy to get email, I don't want to prevent others from seeing useful responses. -- James Craig Burley, Software Craftsperson burley@ai.mit.edu
