Hi all. As some of you know I recently acquired a working PowerBook 145. It has a black and white screen and runs System 7.1. It came with Microsoft Word and SimpleText and/or TeachText (too lazy to check right now). But that's it. So I need some more stuff!
I would ideally like some games that run well on a monochrome screen, as well as some utilities (disk reformatting, optimization/defragmentation, recovering corrupted/deleted files, etc.) and diagnostic tools. A set of 7.1 installation disks would be great too - I have 7.5 from my Performa, but I think 7.1 looks better with black and white screens.
So, does anybody have ideas as to where I can find some of these programs, as well as suggestions and recommendations? I want to make the most of my PowerBook.
Thanks!
Edit - Ideally I would like the utilities to work on my Performa too, it doesn't have any either and it would be nice to only need to buy one set of programs. Being able to run on both my Performa and my PowerBook would be a plus for games, but since my Performa already has tons of games compatibility with black and white displays is way more important to me.
