My wife and I are about to buy a micro; we've decided on either a Morrow
(CP/M) machine or a Sanyo PClone...  

We like the Morrow for the terminal and keyboard, we like the Sanyo for
the IBM-ness and the price.  What can people tell me about CP/M in the
world today (like, I looked through Byte and didn't see much mention of
it -- can software still be found for it?).

The particular things we need to do are:

	- terminal stuff for BOTH unix and VM/CMS; ideally we would like to
	  have a 327x emulator and a vt100, but could manage with only
	  vt100.
	
	- word processing.  I'm writing SF and a dissertation coming up,
	  along with occasional tech writing etc.  What experiences can
	  people tell me about either Morrow or IBM in this (especially in
	  non-WordStar?)

IN addition, we're concerned about service, especially since we have not
seen much advertizing about the Sanyo yet.  Can anyone tell us about
Sanyo's support?

Thank a lot, in advance as the saying goes.  Please mail responses to:
