I've been looking for a printer, and so paging through Computer Shopper. Here's two items that are relevant to recent postings. I notice that UnderWare Electronics advertised the NEC 8501 for $199 in January. Limited supply, but they might still have some. I haven't bought anything from them, but I have owned an NEC starlet. The 8501 has a real nice screen and keyboard, and is a competant CP/M computer. $199 is a good price. They also have the 8401, which has a distinctly less appealing (16 line, not supertwisted) screen for $179. The Jan '90 issue also has an article on installing a third party drive into the Tandy 1400. No price mentioned, but the author considers the Tandy price outrageous so it must be a lot less than that. Fun Magazine, that Computer Shopper. Anyone out there own the bizarre "wrist PC"? Looks like fun for $30! B< -- B< Brian Kahn blk@security.mitre.org "may the farce be with you"
