Thank to everyone who steered me away from the Apple hard drives. Instead, I went to MacUser (as many suggested) and ordered a third part drive, from APS. It was much cheaper, and I get 40m instead of 20. I have another question...My Mac SE monitor is begining to get to small when I am WP'ing documents. Unless I set the left & right boundries really long I can't see the entire line. My question is this, can I use my TV as a Mac monitor. Back in the dark ages, when I was using my //c, I used to hook up the //c to my TV and use it as a monitor when I was in the mood for color. The //c used the VCR type (I think they're called RCA-type) or cable to hook to the monochrome monitor. My TV (Sharp Vi Linytron, I think) has the VCR inputs on the back, and I could plug it into the //c and use it as a monitor. Now, I'm wondering if I can do the same thing with my mac? If I can, what type of cables do I need? And, finnaly is it worth it to try? (ie: will the picture be bad, or can I blow up both systems if I do it wrong, etc.) Thanks again to everyone who helped me with the hard disk, and thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. Responses by e-mail would be best. -- ________--_--________--> I'm a biologist who studies life, but, that doesn't mean I have to have one... Tony Sanderfoot aasg7935@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu
