I'm the only person I know with a hi-res ST. Most people seem to plug theirs
into the back of the telly.

I've got one game, and it's Balance of Power. Brilliant game, and well worth the
money, but, having run the ST as mid-res for a week or two, I certainly know
what I'm missing -though Star Wars is still not really an acceptable substitute
for Star Raiders, and it wrecked my mouse.

Nobody here seems to write games for the hi-res ST - which rather surprises me;
I'd have thought someone might have tried porting Mac (spit) games by now. BoP
appears to have originally been written for the Mac (spit).

Since I'm clearly stuck with it, can anyone recommend a spreadsheet system? I'd
like it to be compatible with 1st Word Plus, if at all possible (sigh).

I suppose I should rig a monitor switch and a modulator so that I can plug it
into the back of MY telly. I thought I was through with all that....
