Another 'congrats' .... I'd like to get a 3000 myself.
Once you get her sorted out, and learn more, maybe you could post pics, and your config...
If I were you, I'd get a CD-ROM drive again... (or even better a CD-R, but yes, they can be expensive in SCSI)
Programs..hmmm.... Depends on what you want to do, and the specs of your machine...
IMHO, needed are:
Dopus4
Snoopdos
PriMan
MCP (can be a b***h to configure at first, but I now can't live without it
Nice to have:
ImageFX
Deluxe Paint (V. 4 or 5)
My .02 ....
