I Strongly disagree with your coment of 24 july. My wife has
used a Vector 2600 for about 9 months as a text editor for her
translating business with nar a problem using the memorite word
processor supplied with the machine. She types at over 100 words
a minute so wordstar gave her problems when implemented on a
chromemco and a haxeltime terminal. She is extremely happy with
the vector. I show her your message. Her comment was " is he
talking about the same machine. The vector 3 has the same feel
as the selectric 1 she was using before she descovered word
processing. She has now completed about 12 megabytes of text
typing english from russian,bulgarian, french etc and using a nec
7700 produced several books in pretty nice copy. memorite has
worked well for her. Perhaps the yourexperience was with an
older machine. We also use a 5005 at NRL for varoius data
analysis schemes and text procesing it implements a version of
mp/m. We also have 4 chromemcos ,2 apples and 4 pdp 11/40 in our
group. The vector has stacked up well in this environment and as
an example one of the people in the group recently bought a 3 for
his personal use . Of course we also have chromemco lovers in the
group as well. A final point, the vector 3 has yet to give my
wife a disk error. those tandon 5" 96 tpi drives are quite
reliable. Joel Z
