Congrats!

>1)  Good games for the MAC, preferrably adventure/fantasy type games that DO

I (and my sagging deadlines) heartily recommend two:
	o shanghai (a solitaire game)
	o Dark Castle (just bought this one, arcade style game)

both are addicting.  Beware.  Also, Dark Castle installs nicely on a hard
disk, for which I give the manufacturer a big hurrah! (buy this product!)

I use Word 3.0.  It is good.  It isn't great, although the (hopefully soon)
bugfix release ought to be. Word processors are a religious argument,
though, so your best bet is to try things out and see what you like.

Don't know about the SE, but it is one of the best I've seen on any machine.
Imagine rogue with real-time animation, life-like sound, and a bitmap
interface. And a sense of humor (bad one, perhaps....)
