Here's what I think is a good deal:
HARDWARE:
Apple //c computer with 5 1/4" disk drive.
Applied Engineering Z-Ram Ultra 2 (add-on board),
with *** 1 Meg *** of RAM, clock.
Apple 12" monitor, and Apple compact 9" monitor.
Apple Mouse.
Apple Scribe Dot Matrix Printer, with lots of paper and ribbons.
2400 baud external modem (fast), Hayes compatible.
SOFTWARE:
Appleworks (word proc., data base, spreadsheet)
AutoWorks (adds macros and mouse support to Appleworks)
Mouse Talk (communications, mac-like editor)
Apple Access // (communications)
Kermit (communications with mouse support)
Pro-Sel (utilities and quick program-switcher)
Print Shop (makes posters, cards, etc.)
Mouse Paint
Music Construction Set
Scrabble
Wheel of Fortune
The Home Accountant
Apple Desktop Toolkit (mac-like programming tools)
Apple Assembler
... and various public domain stuff
PLUS:
Manuals for the machine and software, plus other books about the
Apple, its operating system and so on.
Loks of blank disks, computer paper and printer ribbons.
The 1 Meg of memory (huge in the Apple II world, where programs are
written to fit into smaller systems) makes the thing really easy to
use. What I do is have my most frequently used programs in RAM
(memory) at all times, so I can easily switch back and forth from word
processing, to modem communications, to whatever. No floppy disc
switching.
All for $1000.
