        MPW, Yeah!!!!
        As far a the 512Ke goes, dump it!  You need lots of memory, and
        lots of disk!  If you can afford it go ahead and bite the bullet
        and get a II.
        Books:
           Inside Mac All Volumes.
           Macintosh Programing Secrets & How to Write Macintosh Software
               both by Scott Knaster.
           Also Programming with Macintosh Programmer's Workshop by Joel West
           Macintosh Revealed might also be useful.
           Subscription to MacTutor is nice.

        Also go out and buy lots of Jolt, Coke, Pepsi, or Mountain Dew, you
        have some late nights coming up.  But it's worth it!
