[net.micro] KAYPRO vs. MORROW vs. others

Didn't somebody do a survey of one or the other of these fairly recently?
Are the results available?
In any case, I would appreciate comments on either of these machines
in terms of general suitability (i.e. any terms you like)
and in particular for word processing (using Wordstar).
Also interested in cost and expandability.

Am interested in behalf of my nephew, who will be doing his thesis this year.
He is not a computer type, nor will his thesis be on computers --
he just felt that the $500 it was going to cost him for typing services
could be better spent, in this day and age.

Thanks...  -- Kenn Goutal (decvax!goutal)

Morrow has a new version of the Micro-Decision called the "Morrow Writer"
which is packaged for text processing and includes a daisy wheel printer.
They seem to take great pains to make the micro-morrow series useable by
people who know nothing about computers.
