I am thinking of buying a Mac but I would appreciate it if you could answer a few questions for me. (I an NOT interested in the "new" (color) Mac to be announced in January -- I am waiting for the prices on the old Macs to go down as a result of the new Mac). 1. 128k or 512k? Which should I get? Does most software require 512k? Will I frequently get "out of memory" errors? (I suppose this depends on what I am using the Mac for). 3. Can I use both my Hayes SmartModem 1200 and my (serial) Diablo 630 printer with the Mac at the same time, or does the beast have just one serial port? 4. Multitasking -- can it run more than one application at once? 5. Can I survive with just one drive, or should I get the external as well? Please let me know of additional features (and/or drawbacks) of the machine as well. Thanks in advance. -drew
