Help!

I need information on the "Amstrad" Computer (sp?).  It's apparently a Z-80
CPU based personal computer with high resolution color graphics and a 5-1/4"
built-in disk drive.

I need to know whether any knows about this computer, what it's specs are,
what is it compatible with, and the bottom line:  Is it worth its weight in
IC's?

Why?  Because a friend wants to buy a personal computer and saw this machine
being sold with a color high-res monitor for $599 by local company here in
the bay area.  He's not sure when the sale ends, so he needs the info fast.

Could you please help him out?

Thanks!
