He says that with many of the shareware programs, when he tries to load them up, the system crashes, giving a dead mac icon and an error Does the IIsi have a design that prevents it from executing particular software? No, the games have design flaws that prevent them from running on every type of macintosh. (I mean it) Is a macplus able to run more software than a IIsi. For example, I noticed that Mombasa (downloaded) runs on a plus, but crashes a IIcx. Well, you don't have color, and don't have any power in the box, and no sound chip, but you have good compatibility with the programs written for the skinny & fat macs. These are on the way out though (except for the classic, of course...) -- Jon W{tte h+@nada.kth.se - Speed !
