Hello out there!
I'm currently considering purchasing my first computer, and
I'm looking for advice and thoughts. My primary uses will be
a)word processing
c)remote terminal for larger computers and bulletin
boards
d)simple programming (pascal, c, forth?)
e)some game playing
Computers I'm (starting) to consider include the KAYPRO II, the
Apple IIE, and the Sanyo MBC-555. The last one sounds very
interesting; about $1000-$1500 buys a 2 drive, 128k IBM semi-
compatible, and a large package of bundled software. Has anyone
used one of these? Any thoughts on usability, durability,
availability of programming languages and communications
programs? Suggestions on how appropriate any of these computers
would be for my uses, or on other computers in the $1000-$1500
price range to consider? I'd much appreciate any help you could
give me. Send messages to

Thanks in advance, naturally.
