	I am an IBM-PCnik, but I recently recommended the purchase of
an Apple II to someone here who asked me the very same question.

	The question to ask is "What computer is in the child's school
right now?" and buy that one. The three years mentioned in the article
is a long time to look ahead.  Three years ago PCs were $5000 and, Macs
were non-existent. Buy for today's needs.

	(And by the way, Apple is just as much a "name" as IBM when it
comes to Micros. It is the machines that differ.)
