The IBM takes forever to boot up and the DisplayWrite takes much longer in moving from one mode to another. If you are into textfile exhanges with other processors, the Display write print file requires extremely long time to convert from its normal file format. The resulting file still has some printer-control characters which one almost has to use Wordstar to get rid of.
