I would recommend one of the Apple // line. The Apple //c in particular.

The Apple //c's price has just been lowered by Apple Computers. You can
probably get it on sale for about $700.00. This includes a built in disk
drive and a monochrome monitor. It also has 128k.

You can get an Imagewriter // printer for about $600.00. It is very fast
and I'm very impressed with it's letter quality mode. With all the
software written for Apple and the compatability of all the different
Apple //s, your friend should have no problem using his computer for
different purposes later on.

It would cost a bit more but an Apple //gs would also be real good.
It has great graphics and sound capabilities along with alot of ways
to expand the memory. It also has expansion slots (something the //c
lacks). A //gs, 3.5" disk drive, and a color monitor is going to run
aroung $2,000.00. Add the printer and you will wind up with about
$2,500.00 but well worth it.

Both systems take up little space and both are extremely easy to use.
