I plan on buying an IBM-pc very shortly. I want to spend as
little money on it at first, and am wondering what kind of
configuration is best for my needs.

The least expensive configuration is 1 drive, 64 K. Is this
little memory useless on the IBM. Can Wordstar or any other
good word processor be used with this memory? 

I also plan on programming in C,Pascal,Basic and Lisp. How much 
memory is required to create programs of reasonable
length.

At the moment, I know very little about the IBM, so please excuse
my ignorance.

Also, if anybody has some sort of on-line memory map of the IBM,
I would appreciate a copy of it.

Any information you could give me (mail if possible) would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you,

Dan O'Connell
