	I have been thinking about buying the Tandy 1000 at the sale
	price this month ($699). Does anyone have any information they
	could send me about it. I would like the hear the opinions of
	current users of the machine. I would also like directions to
	any magazine reviews of it. I've already found ones from
	Computer and Electronics and Creative Computing from right after
	the product introduction, but I would like something more
	recent and more in-depth. Amoung the questions I have are:

	- What do you think of the keyboard?

	- Have the short expansion slots caused problems?

	- Have you come across any 3rd party software/hardware that
	  won't work on the 1000?

	- What do you think of the Desk Mate software?

	- Have you used it with an 8087?

	- Has anyone used the Tandy 1200 baud modem?
