My wife has used a Vector 2600 for about 9 months as a text editor for her translating business with nar a problem using the memorite word processor supplied with the machine. She types at over 100 words a minute so wordstar gave her problems when implemented on a chromemco and a haxeltime terminal. She is extremely happy with the vector. I show her your message. Her comment was " is he talking about the same machine. The vector 3 has the same feel as the selectric 1 she was using before she descovered word processing. She has now completed about 12 megabytes of text typing english from russian,bulgarian, french etc and using a nec 7700 produced several books in pretty nice copy. memorite has worked well for her. Perhaps the yourexperience was with an older machine. We also use a 5005 at NRL for varoius data analysis schemes and text procesing it implements a version of mp/m. We also have 4 chromemcos ,2 apples and 4 pdp 11/40 in our group. The vector has stacked up well in this environment and as an example one of the people in the group recently bought a 3 for his personal use . Of course we also have chromemco lovers in the group as well. A final point, the vector 3 has yet to give my wife a disk error. those tandon 5" 96 tpi drives are quite reliable. Joel Z
