- 95Buddy first and foremost. This provides what the 95 would otherwise be
- missing. If your into games then the Chess by Andy Glaister is a must, but
- its a bit heavy on the batteries, so an AC adaptor is wise.
-
- If your into drawing, get a copy of pixer, computing get cmcalc17, or sound
- get the HP sound stuff.
-
- If you can't spell, like me, then the dictionary card is a wise move. IT
- gives you 116,000 words plus deffinitions in a 2Mb card, you also get
- spell checker, thesaurus and a very good hangman game:-)
-
- The other thing that is a definate, is a serial cable or a RAM card to make
- backups, certain pd games can corrupt your RAM disc, so be careful. The Andy
- Glaister ones seem to be safe, but I'm still trying to get hold of him to
- see if he ever finished a system manager compliant version.
