Steve,

We've corresponded via e-mail about this already, but I have to throw my vote in for Number 4, the adapter allowing modern USB devices to plug into ADB Macs. The prices of ADB keyboards are quite high on the general market and the devices themselves are growing older (some of those membranes must be starting to age). I would love to grab up my USB (or even PS/2) keyboard and mouse and be able to plug them into my old Mac - it would also allow me to minimise the amount of junk I have lying around (my other half already wonders where all of these Macs are supposed to go). So, here's my order of interest:

I. Number 4 (USB devices to ADB computer)

II. Number 8 (68k 20MHz accelerator for compact Macs)

III. Number 10 (LocalTalk server 'thingy')

Runners up:

- Number 7 (ROM-inator for LC (and/or Classic, but definitely LC!)

- Number 9: Video out for compact Macs (this would be useful for that fateful day when the CRTs actually burn out)

Oh, and, I would like you to impart some of your magic on me. Perhaps you could start a web-based course? I'd pay per session/term/semester/etc.

Regards,

Steve
