	Just about any of the IBM "clone" family will do.  My preference is 
   leans toward the "AT" class machines.  The benefits are low cost and just
   about any vendors parts will work in it.  Also any sequencing software 
   written for the PC will work.  Cakewalk and some others work well on the 
   "AT" (and some XT's), but if you are thinking of MasterTracks I would
    suggest a '386 PC cause MasterTracks runs under Windows.

	Again, almost any will do.  Shop around the stores in Ft. Collins,
    get the best prices, and go with the store that you feel most comfortable
    with.

to sell beer at the football games?
