A recent microcomputer magazine describes the PCjr as a machine designed
for the school environment.  By not having any disks but only using the 
plug-in cartridges one can avoid a very expensive maintenance problem,
that is trying to use floppy disks around chalk.  They are incompatible.
I haven't investigated the PCjr since the PC at regular price is
obsolete now.  That would also avoid the problem of will Atari be there
tomorrow.
P.S.  By obsolete, I mean that the new PC look-alikes are 4 times as
fast and cless expensive.
