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
