I find them quite usable, although it seems more knowlege of how the system works is required than on an ms-dos system. I use wordstar which your message says you would avoid. I think MINCE is avalable on CP/M, I know it is avalable for MS-DOS. ( Mince Is Not Complete Emacs ) . I would say for the novice user who just wants to use the computer and rarely or never get technical use the Sanyo ( Zenith has a nice machine also ) I do not know about the sanyo. IBM's are like Chevy's.... not too hot but they get the job done and have lots of support available. They will be around for a long time (sigh). I do not reccomend the color graphics adapter as the charicters have serifs and other features that make them less readable than the more expensive monochrome monitor setup. ( if you want to play games... get the color adapter if you want to edit get the monochrome. ) Hope this does not add too much to the confusion Jim Morton
