	Find any one of the thousands of computers of all breeds that are now
sitting on somebody's shelf gathering dust because the owner doesn't have time
to learn how to use it. Look for one that the owner aleady has Wordstar or
Word (or any other prominent word processing program - but make sure it's one
of the biggies - save yourself a hassle) and make an offer for the
whole shebang. Chances are you can find someone who just wants to get rid
of the machine they never used anyway. Try an ad in a local business-paper.
There are a lot of people out there who have computers in some closet somewhere
and not only are they not going to learn to use it, they don't even care 
enough to try to sell it - you have to find them. But a little exertion can
save some big bucks.
