Hello out there...

I'm a college student, which is, hopefully, an accurate indicator of my
financial situation, and I've had an Atari ST 68K-based machine for about
a year.  Well, after a year of worrying about the survival of my machine,
after a year of seeing no more than one or two new software packages re-
leased every month, I've decided to switch to a more secure system.  I've
been thinking about Macs and IBM clones, but after working with a 
Motorola-based system with a windowing environment standard, I REALLY don't
want to switch to an 80286-clone and go back into the stone ages.  My 
question is -- why the price difference between a 1MB Plus and a 1MB SE?
If I do get a Plus, am I getting another system for which software sup-
port will fade?  Can a Plus be expanded with a hard drive?  How about an
accelerator board of some sort?  What are the exact differences between a
Plus and an SE?  Any such info would be appreciated.  Please mail me if
you have some.  Thanks in advance.
