I have a 512Ke, but am considering selling it and getting an SE or a II. By what I've read, I think MPW seems like the best thing to buy, but I see that a lot of people use Lightspeed C. Also, what documentation and independently written texts do you recommend? I have vols. I & II of _Inside Mac_ and plan to by the rest. I just finished reading _MPW and Assembly Language Programming_ by Scott Kronick. The book is great, but I feel like there should be a vol. 2 to go along with it - it seems incomplete. Many thanks in anticipation! David W. Humphrey
