I am considering doing some software development for the Mac. As I am
not currently and owner of a Mac, I would appreciate some pointers from the
net.

The system that I am considering is:
	Mac+			(1M, built in 880K drive)
	Imagewriter II
	External drive		(880K)
	a C development system

(comments regarding this system would be appreciated).

I have been looking through ads in magazines, newspapers, etc, and am 
becoming a bit bewildered by the prices offered.

What I would like to know is:

How much did you get your system for, and where did you get it?
If you got it through mail order, how long was the wait?

What C compiler (and debugger, hopefully) do you reccomend?

(I have heard some things about 'Aztec C' and some others, but no-one I know
is doing development, so I know nothing about the features of the different
systems).

How much should I expect to spend to get the system and documentation that
I will need to get started?

Please respond to: wedgwood@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU or

Thanks for any info.
