We like ours.  You might be happier with the new model, since
it has a full screen (24x80) but 16 x 80 isn't too bad, and
it's a lot more legible than the DG-1.

Version 1A.  No changes possible with the old model.  The
new model, software in rom is totally unbundled.

I haven't seen prices on the new model yet, the old model is $2295,
but expect it to drop rather drastically since the new one is out.

The New Heath-Zenith is almost a spitting image of the HP.  It sells
for $1100, but with only 32K.  Unless memory is super expensive,
a better deal.  It doesn't have Lotus 123 though, it has all-
microsoft, with Multiplan, Word, Basic, etc.
