I am now the proud owner of a Macintosh SE. (My first vintage mac ever) It came with a huge repertoire of software that I will not be able to catalog completely for quite awhile. (All on 3.5" floppies) Off the top of my head, it has Microsoft Works, Print Shop, and a few educational games.
Later, I will have a printer for it too. (Just need to pick it up from a friend)
It has a 20MB Hard drive.
Currently it has system 7 installed. I have heard that although this is the most recent version this mac can run, it might not be the best for the system. (Stability issues?) If this is the case, which system should I install? I also have floppies for system 6. (I think) Would that be better?
And lastly, what can I do with it? What are the limits of this machine? Can it browse the web in a way that would be simple to set up? What games are good on a monochrome mac? Where might I find ink for the printer? (It's an Stylewriter II.) Is there a way to make it talk to my Apple //e for file transfers or something? Anything else I should know?
Thanks.
