   After purchasing the Magic Sac last week, I find that I will need both
a hard disk backup utility for the ST and a monochrome monitor or a long,
agonizing death lies in my future . . .

   I've yet to hear of a hard disk backup utility, except for one rather
unmemorable one I saw at the AtariFest, but they must exist . . . What are
the best (and cheapest)?

   The monochrome monitor is a real must for the Magic Sac.  Half-resolution
is not something I can deal with, and the dual-screen mode for color would be
okay IF the right mouse button was used as a toggle along with/instead of
the cursor keys . . . Anybody have one of these they want to get rid of in
favor of a color monitor?  A new one would be too expensive, and dealers don't
seem to want to sell them alone.  I am willing to pay almost anything less
than $150, but $100 is more my speed (I'd rather not eat peanut butter until
Christmas) (I'd also like to be able to buy the backup utility . . .).

   One comment about new software . . . forget WordPerfect, buy Empire.
You can waste less money and more time.  Good game!
