<Boy, it sure is hard for me to write that $7k check !! >

For all those comtemplating buying a Tandy 2000, be sure to read the 2
articles on it in the May issue of 80-Micro magazine. 

While the authors are very supportive of it in general, the article spends
most of its words on the defects it has. This is very enlightening, as one
normally learns things like this only after quite a bit of hands-on
experience. 

The guist of the article is that all PCs have plenty of defects; the 2000
is no exception. But it's still the best IB*-PC type machine around.

It also answered the question i had about the PAINT stmt, in an earlier
article.

I only wish that they had gone thru the extra trouble of reviewing the
Basic and Pascal Compilers, too. How much research will i have to do in
order to find out if they can use more than 64k of memory?
