Announcing.....the government did something right!!

Late this afternoon, a contract was signed in Washington to provide a
standard microcomputer configuration for the US Air Force and US Navy.
The standard system has to provide 8-bit CP/M and some sort of extended
16-bit hardware/software.

The vendor choosen to provide this machine was.....Zenith (ta da).  Our
standard machine is the Z-100 all-in-one with 192K of RAM, 2 minifloppies,
and monochrome screen.  Options abound, with 8-inch and/or >11 Mbyte 
Winchester at the top of the list.  Tons of software are available.

Air Force and Navy user questions are invited (others, too).

Doug
