I am planning to buy a MAC II cx. I would like to
use it for prototype development. I would appreciate
any info. on the the following:

  - Ease of networking the MAC to a host computer and 
    transfering files to and from Host (hosts running unix os)?
    What application software do I need? Will MPW do?

  - Programming languages avalable (like Prolog, C, C++, Pascal, Lisp etc);
    names of vendors; do the languages have good documentation
    manual; memory requirements of these languages;
    
  
 - How does a MAC IIcx compare with a PC?

              - Prasanta.
