Anyone knowledgable of computer stores and sources in London, England: I have a (not very computer-literate) associate in London whom I need to get onto an AT-compatible with an EGA card and monochrome monitor, both for word processing (MS-Word with custom fonts, hence the EGA card) and for E-Mail (Mercury Communications MercuryLink). Can someone send me (by e-mail) information on good computer shops or similar sources of reasonably-priced AT-compatibles, as well as some idea what the following combination would/should cost in England: AT compatible with 1 5.25" High Density drive and 1 3.5" Double Density (720K) drive, as well as a 40MB hard disk; 640K RAM; EGA-compatible display adapter; Amber TTL monochrome monitor; I/O card with 2 serial and one parallel ports. This combination would cost about $1100-1300 here (650-800 Pounds). I realize it will be more in England -- but how much? Wolf -- Wolf N.
