The Deskwriter requires a hard drive and you would be hard pressed to
run it with only 1M RAM.  Your friend needs a hard drive (badly) and
probably a RAM upgrade.  In that case, the StyleWriter would be a
better (more economical) choice.  It also gets 360 dpi resolution, as
opposed to 300 for the DeskWriter.
