     The Tandy 1500 HD is a great little machine.  It has a 23 msec. Hard
drive, 1.44 meg floppy, 640K, great keyboard, alright screen.  Of course,
the keyboard and screen are a biased subject, but if I wanted to run
windows, or other powerful multitasking program I would spend the money on
desktop with a color screen (VGA).  But for me, a student, who would just
like to run WordStar, and Lotus and don't want my arm to fall off on the
way to the Library, the Tandy 1500 HD was my best buy.  Unlike the
T1000SE it has a hard drive, and Unlike the t1000Xe it has a floppy.  ALL
contained in a sleek black case weighing in at a air weight of 5.9 pounds.
I wonder what it would cost to buy a hard drive for the t1000SE, or a floppy
drive for the t1000xe, probably about the same as the t1200xe.  No a settle
for the tandy 1500 HD, it is better than the 1000XE/se anyway.
