[net.micro.cpm] morrow / cp/m vs. sanyo/ms-dos

"Morton Jim"@LLL-MFE.ARPA (12/05/84)

    I have some CP/M systems.  I find them quite usable, although it seems
more knowlege of how the system works  is required  than on an ms-dos system.
I use wordstar which your message says you would avoid.  I think MINCE is 
avalable on CP/M, I know it is avalable for MS-DOS.  ( Mince Is Not Complete 
Emacs ) .

    I would say for the novice user who just wants to use the computer and
rarely or never get technical    use the  Sanyo    ( Zenith has a nice machine
also ) 

    I do not know about the sanyo.   IBM's  are like Chevy's....  not too hot
but they get the job done    and have lots of support available.   They will
be around for a long time (sigh).  I do not reccomend the color graphics adapter
as the charicters have serifs and other features that make them less readable
than the more expensive monochrome monitor setup.

( if you want to play games... get the color adapter   if you want to edit
 get the monochrome. )

                    Hope this does not add too much to the confusion
