Has anyone done market research on what's needed for a HOME pc?  My
feeling is this:  1. Built-in printer and display, both quality, 2.
Canned programs in ROM -a. Word Processing, b. Data Base Management, c.
Spreadsheet financial planners, d. Other?  I don't see the need for a
disk drive or tape storeage but would use eeprom for storeage.  128k of
Ram should be adequate.  Cost should be around $500.  Decent keyboard
and portable, using minimum desk space.  What's out there now that
meets the bill?  I think anything more than this is Marketing hype.
