In addition Chet provided a quick taste of his most favorite (and commonly used add-on software) like Candy Factory, PIP Studio 2 and more.  The timing of this annual look at Casablanca software coincides with the Macrosystem US (NTSC) Casablanca software sale.

Additional info: If you are If you are working with a Casablanca II model (AVIO, Kron, Prestige, Solitaire, Renommee, Liberty, Gymnos, Claro) there are two models of USB sticks/flash drives which are more compatible than any other in the marketplace: the Kingston Traveller/Kingston Data Traveller and the PNY Attache. If you're on the S-4000/PRO, these will also work for you but pretty much any USB drive will.
