Three questions from a new MAC owner who loves his CLASSIC dearly!

1) I received System 6.06 when I bought it (one of the first in the UK - at
the education price and no long queues for me 8-) ). It bombs occasionally,
with some of my older software, would an upgrade to 6.07 be a good move?

2) Hypercard 2 in its tour stack checks the keyboard type and with my CLASSIC
comes up with "?" rather than "Standard ADB Keyboard". Other applications have
difficulty as well. Is this fixed in 6.07 or is it a case of "Who was that
masked ascii character (sic)" ?

3) The support services people at UMIST are excellent and one bloke has
offered to bung some SIMMS into my computer, to take it up to 4 Megs (Surely
I'll never need 4 Megs? System 7 ? Oh well...). What SIMMS do I need exactly,
and is it true that the warrantee is still valid provided that the upgrade did
not cause the problem?

advTHANKSance

P.S. I've just thought of another question! Would it be possible to plug the
mouse directly into the MAC's ADP port (i.e. without the keyboard) for
demonstrations which were entirely mouse driven (e.g. for security reasons)?

Thanks again!
