The OZ-8000 has the following major differences from the OZ-7000:
	- 64K standard memory (a 128K model, the OZ-8200, is coming out soon..)
	- oriented in a landscape vs portrait orientation
	- QWERTY keyboard
	- larger screen (240x64 pixels)
	- more built-in programs (business card database, outline processor)
	- user-definable fields in telephone database
Since I never has a 7000 series, I might have missed some other improvements.
The 8000 accepts the same cards as the 7000, although I think it will
emulate the lower resolution screen of the 7000.

I paid $299 at the Harvard Coop.
