Old macs are cheap - you can get a Mac IIci for around $100, which should be adequate for the kind of work you'd need to do. Add a jaz drive or better yet, a decent size external hard disk, and then all you'd need would be a CD burner. I would gladly make a small run of CD's with my burner and test with my IIgs multimedia system (Apple CDSC, 5 megs ram and two hard disks, 230mb and 350mb, Second Sight is in the mail, so says Sequential) I'm located in the NYC area. For what its worth, I don't think its worthwhile to even bother with MP3's and CDR's on a IIgs. Instead of putting time into a project thats simply going to end up showing how slow and crummy the IIgs is, lets pour our energies into projects that show how wonderful they are. -Erick
