     Recently (Octover 28) at a Montgomery Wards store; I saw two versions of
     the Headstart computer.  Both versions contained a 1.44Mb 3.5" floppy,
40MB hard disk, CD-ROM drive, mouse, Microsoft Bookshelf, Groliers
encyclopedia, another CD-ROM of miscellaneious databases and sixteen software
software packages.  The CD-ROM drive is audio capable and there is a earphone
jack, volume control and stereo jacks mounted  on a card support in the rear of
the computer.  Both machines have expansion slots.  The Headstart XL is an 8088
based machine for $799 and the Headstart 300 is an 80286 based machine and is
$1995.00.  Has anybody purchased one of these machines, how do you like it?
Please note; the above prices do not! include the monotor or a printer.  VGA
and SVGA monitors are available at $350 and $400 respectively.
