My son is not too interested in hacking. He is a liberal arts type. He is also klutzy when it comes to machines. We are thinking in terms of a Sears electronic typewriter that draws graphs and stores 4K charaters in its memory, or a Commodore 64, with a printer. If anyone in netland has comments on these choices or any other choices to propose we would be grateful. Thanks in advance Rich Soyack mtuxo!3215rfs 201 576-6065
