(...and then I'll work on GEOS for the Amiga...)

First, let me thank everyone for giving advice to a true-blue new user.  I
have saved the output and will reread it over the weekend, adding to my wish
list.

Next, some questions and comments from a new kid on the block:

	- I'm getting sick of one drive.  Swapping is getting on my nerves
	  already.  I'm also tired of error 103 appearing.  What's more
	  important to a happy system?  Another drive (hard or floppy)?
	  More memory (remember, this is a 500)?

	  To make this question easier to answer, I'll say that this was
	  originally meant to be a game machine for me, but will probably
	  open out into a C development machine and a terminal to connect
	  to work (Handshake is such a neat program!).  Games will probably
	  be really high on my list, though.

	- Is there any reason to even consider purchasing Commodore's
	  modem over any other?  Hayes compatable, right?

	- Who really needs CLI??  Maybe this attitude will change once I
	  get the hang of it (and another drive?).  Books and gurus seem
	  to be the way to go here.  Any good recommendations for a book
	  geared towards the experienced UNIX hack on learing CLI?

That's about all for now.  Again, thanks to everyone for all their help.
