Hmm, then that raises an interesting question: A large number of the disks I got with the machine don't do anything when I insert them at bootup - the screen just keeps showing the "Insert Disk" graphic. This doesn't happen with all disks though - maybe 50-60% though. Does this mean that many of my disks are bad? I guess I'd assumed that I wouldn't be able to run them without a GUI disk.

MOST game disks are bootable; you can plug them in at the insert disk screen and you're good to go. However, the ones that won't boot aren't necessarily bad. Some games (and most application disks) will require you to boot with a Workbench disk first. Then you'll need to stick in the other disk and use the GUI to open the disk and double-click on the appropriate icon.
