Essential software?

@TheMaDMaN

As already mentioned, it depends on what you want to do with your Miggy. I only have my A3000 set up at the moment and all that does is play games so I don't really have all that much stuff installed on it. One piece of software that I couldn't live without is DOpus so add that to your list :-)

Edit...Doh, must have been posting at the same time :oops:

Oh yeah, I forgot I've got an IDE 100Mb ZIP drive and a few ZIP disks, which I could use for data transfer, if I can get the ZIP drive to work with the A4K, or I could use the DVD burner in the PC to burn CDs, or I could install the 1Gb IDE in the PC and transfer data via WinUAE, so I doubt transferring data to and from the A4K will be a problem...

I use a similar set up for grabbing stuff of the net, I simply have my ZIP disks set up as HDD's and mount them in WinUAE accodingly, works a treat. Only problem is that I don't have SCSI on my A1200, so transferring files to that is a real pain in the a$$, guess thats why it just sits in the cupboard now.

I've got going DirOpus 4, DPaint 5, PPaint 7, Photogenics, SnoopDOS, Iconian, Shapeshifter, MagicWB, NewIcons, MUI, ClassAct, IDEFix97 & WHDLoad, are there any other programs I should get? And what hacks, datatypes, etc would be worth getting?

Add also JST and XPK, I also find OctaMed 4 to be quite fun.
