INFO WANTED: Home computer My Uncle is buying a home computer for his kids (high school age), both math/science oriented, both quite intelligent. He is wondering what to buy. Since I am NOT into home computers (this VAX 780 is my "toy") I thought all the nice people out in netland might be able to give some advice. Constraints: $800-$1500 initially. Obviously it needs to be able to add a hard disk and printer later; initally though, only a cpu, memory, crt, floppy. Needs to be programmable (a learning tool not a games machine), preferably with languages in addition to basic. Please mail all replies and, of course, thanks in advance.
