My oldest son is starting college this fall and my wife and I are trying to
decide on either a typewriter or a cheap word processor.

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.
