[net.micro] Questions about C64

dmk@hou5f.UUCP (D Kahn) (07/26/83)

I am considering buying a C64 for personal business purposes.
My initial use would be spreadsheet software with my own front
end interface to it.

I am considering the following system:
Basic unit: 	$200
Floppy disk	$250
Printer		$250

Questions:
	What are the benefits (if any) to buying Commodore's
	color monitor. (Better resolution than my color TV?)
	I already have a cheapo black and white monitor that
	I bought for an S100 system that I never got working.

	Does anybody have any experience with the spreadsheet
	software available for the C64?  Are any versatile enough
	to allow you to program your own front ends to them?
	(I might not even need their software for my simple
	application, but I am going to need a package
	to help me get going quickly.)

Any other comments (by mail) would be appreciated.
