Don't laugh, but is anyone out there doing anything with the Coleco Adam? It (barely) qualifies for this list because it apparently will run CP/M software with the Enhancement-3 package. The reason I'm asking is that a retailer here in the DC area is selling the Adam package (computer/tape drive/keyboard/letter-qual printer/ BASIC/WP SW/games) for $299.95, $200 less than the same package went for at Xmastime when Coleco was still making them and claiming that you were a bad parent if you didn't buy your kid one. If you want a modem, the AdamLink + comm SW runs $99.95. They have other add-on goodies (incl the CP/M feature) which go for various multiples of $100.00. I dunno...the base package doesn't look like the worst deal I've ever seen. Any thoughts? -Pat Sullivan
