Recently (Octover 28) at a Mongomery 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?
