If your compacts have Hypercard, they can send messages to each other with HC Communcations, a $2 shareware by Mathew Ahearns. Can't remember where I foudnd it (U. of Mich. archives??) But it is at: <http://www.chebucto.ca/~az627/HC_Communications_1.0.0.sit.hqx> 'till the weekend ... For the SE30s, you might try Avara, from Ambrosia. It needs a color capable mac and system 7.x. It'll network over localtalk, or the web, includes chat style communications with opponents/allies. Control your two-legged gun turret through 3-D battle worlds... When I beat my son using the SE30 while he used the IIfx, he didn't realize that the frame syncing had nullified his speed advantage... though he had it easier with the color monitor... shareware, $20?? uhmmm-- <http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/> cheers, scb -- Scott Barber <http://www.chebucto.ca/~az627/webWader.html> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No HTML/RTF in email X No Word docs in email / \ Respect for open standards -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
