[net.micro] A w-p system survey request

mike@garfield.UUCP (Michael Rayment) (06/23/83)

Here is another survey: (How about a net.survey? Just kidding...)

	We would like to purchase a micro-processor system  
	primarily for word processing.  We are confronted
	with a *vast* assortment of choices.  Such as
	the Fortune System, Universe 68, Altos Computer
	Systems, Corvus, System 8000 by Zilog, Onyx, Pixel,
	Perq, Plexus, Dual, etc.

	We would like to know the experiences (preferably first
	hand) people have had with these various systems, with
	regards to word processing.

Here are The Questions:

1.	What comes with each system (hardware).  This is most
	probably variable, but ...

2.	What operating system do each come with?

3.	What kind of experiences (good/bad) have you
	had with each?

4.	Price?

5.	Serviceability, reliablity?

6.	What w-p packages are supported: {dit,t,n}roff,
	sroff for sanders printers, etc...

7.	Network, uucp support?

8.	Number of users supported?

	Please send replies via mail to:

	{utcsrgv,allegra}!garfield!mike

	As, always, thanks in advance.  I will summarize and
	post to the net.
