Hello STer:
I am new to the Atari world (I am considering buying one).
I have several questions for all the ST gurus on the net.
    1.  How good is the ST as a graphic machine?
    2.  Can I run UNIX (or UNIX like) on it?
    3.  What are the differences between Magic Sac and Spectre?
	(What are those things anyway?).  What else do I need 
	to run Mac software?
    4.  What do I need to run IBM (MSDOS) software?
    5.  What is the best C compiler for the ST?
    6.  What are the differences between the 1040 ST and the Mega ST?
    7.  Is there any Genlock or Frame grabber for the ST?


That's all for now folks,  your answers might create more :> ).
I'll summarize all the answer and post it back to the net.
Thanks.  Happy hacking.
