Thanks you all for all the information. What I gather
is the following:

1) Color is worse than b/w (for hacking)
1) Color isn't that bad, but...
1) Better get Color!
2) Single Sided disks are better ($),
   provided one gets a hardisk.
2) Double Sided disks are better for me.
3) Dealers carrying it are:
   -- Computerland on Hawthorne Blvd
      (160000 south or so)
   -- Lamar Microelectronics on Artesia Blvd
      (between Inglewood & Aviation) (213) 374-1673
   -- Personal Computers Etc. on Topanga Canyon
      in Woodland Hills 
   -- CompuStart (on Wilshire, between 21-22 st).
      I got mine here. Cheaper than Lamar.
   -- Priority One Electronics in Chatsworth
      (but they try to cheat you)
4) Paul Lamar can do an upgrade to 1 Meg ($300).
   So can CompuStart ($200), and both void the warrantee.
5) The Citizen MSP-10 is a good choice for a printer.

The kit includes the following ($321):

 -- text editor (MicroEmacs)
 -- C compiler (a Digital Research, Inc. port of Alcyon C)
 -- assembler
 -- linker
 -- utilities
 -- Kermit
 -- Resource Construction Set
 -- It is well worth the money!

I got mine at CompuStart, and I paid around $2700 for a loaded
system (color, 1M, 2d2d, printer, dev kit, random software).
I'm not associated with CompuStart (blames to /dev/^1/tihs).

I really appreciated your messages. It really made me
change my mind about what I bought. Thanks a lot!
