I have experience purchasing and using IBM-PC's and AT's but I
was
1) Using them for data collection
2) Buying them with company money :)
Now I have need for a PC and an AT (since I am paying for it myself
money becomes important - I'll take clones). I have not kept up on
what's available (about a year out of date) so any advice would be
helpful. Ie what printers are appropriate- appropriate software etc.
I need a
1) A PC to do wordprocessing, period. I have never done this type
of work and this is not for me anyway - what is a good, easy to use
for a novice word processing program?
2) An AT primarily for scientific/numerical programming. This is
for me. I'll get MASM, Microsoft C, PCwrite(uemacs?) but what is a good
Fortran. Last time I looked there weren't any. Do I need fortran
to do this type of work (see above) Can I get by with C?
How about math libraries - any good ones?
