Having just upgraded to a Fat Mac (ah, the wonderfulness of lots of memory)
and picked up a printer and MacProject, I've been doing a number of
housekeeping chores, such as installing fonts, moving around DA's,
upgrading the system disks, and the like. 

I've run into a few things that I'm not sure what to do with, so people out
there who know more than I do, please clue me in:

    . Which is the preferred printer interface-- the imagewriter to be
    found on the MacProject disk (imagewriter 15) or the imagewriter on the
    512K upgrade disk? Why? How?

    . The first thing I did to MacProject was move a copy to a play disk,
    sans the system folder (I keep a system disk on the internal with all
    my DA's, fonts, etc... and the application on the external disks with
    the data-- it seems to work well for me, and it means I only have one
    place to update DA's). When I started it up, it initialized the screen
    windows wrong, and generally looked funny. This leads me to believe
    that the system file on that disk has some things in it that MacProject
    depends on that I'm missing elsewhere. Should I simply use that system
    folder as my default, install the fonts and DA's, and forget it, or
    should I track down and move the missing or changed resources? Anyone
    know what they are?

On a more general note, does anyone have a good idea of what revisions of
which software are the most up-to-date and really available? It seems that
the finder is still at 1.1g and MacTerminal at 1.1, but I'm not nearly as
sure about MacPaint, MacWrite, or the printer stuff. Also, how to you keep
track of System files and make sure you have what you need for the
applications you are running, and whether or not you have the most up to
date versions of those resources?

Thanx, as the say, in advance...
