I've finally been bitten by the computer bug.  I'm looking at
several machines but appear to be homing in on the Heath/Zenith
machines.  I'd appreciate any comments from owners or others.
If I go this way, I suspect that I'll go with the kit version.
One thing that I am specially interested in is software support.
One place I read that since the machine runs CPM, everything 
written for CPM is available.  Another place I read that much
CPM software just won't run on the machine.  I've checked out
magazines on TRS-80, Apple, etc. that give me an idea of what's
available for them burtt I can't find anything for this machine.
Although the machine will be primarily for "work", I suspect that
I'll want to have a little fun, too - are any games available
(Heath catalog lists nothing but chess).  Probably best to send
mail unless someone has a super review that everyione would be 
interested in.
               Thanks ..  John Scherer (Bell Labs, Holmdel, NJ)
