I posted this a while ago and no one responded... you don't have to answer all three questions! :-) I'm planning to get a copy of A/UX 2.0, and I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions: 1. How much is A/UX 2.0? (I would be getting the CD) 2. I have an external 100 MB hard drive I would be using with it. Will this be enough space to work comfortably with A/UX? And do I need special formatting software? 3. I have a Mac IIcx with 8 MB. Is there anything that's optional but makes like much better with A/UX? (Like a large screen monitor or anything?) Thanks very much for your help. __________________________________________________________________ Jason W.

And do I need >special formatting software? It depends upon what you mean by "work comfortably." Like most of these statements, it depends upon what you're doing. 80Mb is cramped for program development. If you add X11R4, you need about 100 Mb to feel good. Many people use more space than that; some use less. > 3. I have a Mac IIcx with 8 MB. Is there anything that's optional >but makes like much better with A/UX? (Like a large screen monitor or >anything?) A large screen monitor makes *anything* better. :-) --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com "My opinion, not Apple's"
