Two drives is really helpful as you can then have a system disk and a
source/object/binary disk.

DPaint is the most popular graphics program, and it has some amazing
features.  There are public domain utilities to take brushes and turn
them into C code.

Digi-View is $199 (I think) for the software and interface.  They'll sell
you a B&W good resolution security type camera for another $199 (I think).
It's VERY popular.
