Pity me. I have lived all my life in a drab existence of black-and-white
monitors, knowing that color finally existed out on the Mac, but having not
the $$ to go out and change my station. Well, I just upgraded my SE/30 to
color via a RasterOps 24-bit colorboard and an Apple color monitor, and a
whole new world awaits me.
My question: What color software should every good color weenie have for his
color Macintosh? I'm not looking for application so much as utilities --
CDEVs, INITs and the like for applying color to the basic functions of one's
color Mac. (Though the gee-whiz golly-wow stuff is of interest, as well.)
Two points:
* I'm interested in both PD and purchase software.
* I'm *especially* interested in utilities which combine the functionality
of several other color utilities. For instance, I understand there
are several color utilities that combine the function of Kolor and
other color utilties under "one roof".
As to applications, I figured I'd pick up MacCheese, as it seems like a
reasonably priced color paint program for the dabbler, and I like the work
Delta Tao has released in the past (i.e. SPACEWARD HO! and STRATEGIC
CONQUEST. (The *real* reasons I got a color monitor. :-) )) Probably
should upgrade my copy of SimCity, too. *sigh*
PS Any comments on problems/tricks to getting color applications to run on
SE/30s with color monitors would be appreciated.

and all mental and
physical operations will
cease."
"And then what?"
"I don't know -- maybe
I'll get a job as a disc
jockey."
