Could someone give me a brief review of this computer.

All I know is it's 256k and has 2 floppy drives.

Is it useful at all in "today's computing"??  Can it be upgraded to
higher RAM and how much would it cost??

Without a monitor, HOW MUCH SHOULD A PERSON PAY FOR A USED ONE???

What kind of operating system can be used?

A frien of mine is considering a purchase and we were curious as to
whether it would be a good idea.  The price would be low, ie. about
200.00 for the one described above.

ANY COMMENTS???  

Thank you all in advance......
