Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to the Mac scene, and I'd like your
input on how to set up a starter system. I'm a student, with meagre funds,
and don't want to be paying big bucks for equipment, if possible.
I'm planning on buying a Mac Plus or SE, 1M, 1 3.5" floppy, a 20-30M HD,
and a decent printer (speed isn't as important as price and print quality --
I'm looking at an Imagewriter II or an HP Deskjet). Questions:
1) What's the difference, from a user's perspective, between the Mac Plus and
the SE? Is the extra expense really worth the upgrade?
2) Can you point me to a cheap, reliable HD? Printer? (at least NLQ)
3) Should I 'hang the expense' and buy all this 'off the shelf,' or can I get
by with secondhand equipment? How much should I expect to pay for all this?
I'd really appreciate any help you can give me with this! :-) Please EMAIL
