Voyager III is a full featured desktop planetarium available from Carinae Software. (http://www.carinasoft.com/). Years ago they produced the original Voyager program that ran great on my Classic. Didn't have color or any of the fancy features but it would show the solar system very accurately from anywhere in the solar system. In 1991 I had it running with the screen centered on the Sun during the big solar eclipse of that year (July if I remember correctly). I had a pinhole projection of the sun and could compare it to the simulation on the screen and darned it it wasn't right on. I like the programs simple interface and small footprint (it came on a couple of floppys). As I said I think I have a copy around here somewhere.
As far as the Jukebox is concerned, yes the SE is mono, but that's no a big deal. I don't usually have the volume loud enough at the office to tell anyway. I just want to use it to play CDs or MP-3s as background music, of course I seriously doubt that I'll find an MP-3 player that'll run on system 6. I also think I have a SCSI CD player around here somewhere. ClarusCAD runs great on the Classic/SE. I played with it a lot back then and even did some real drafting for work. No 3D rendering but it worked really well. Thanks for writing. I gotta go for now.
