I am interested in getting a microcomputer system for the primary
purposes of word processing and numerical computations such as
matrix inversions, numerical approximations, etc.  I will need at
least 12 significant figure accuracy.  The preferred language would
be FORTRAN, but BASIC would also be acceptable.  I'll need a disk
drive or two, a printer, and a modem.  I'd appreciate any suggestions
or recommendations that anyone can provide.  Thanks in advance.
