I  would be grateful for any feedback you have on the Tandy 100sx
and/or Leading Edge Model D.  Which  would  you  recomend  for  a
non-computer  professional  interested in good WP capability (and
may want to extend the computer to  other  functions  later  on)?
The  price is the same for a Leading Edge Model D (2 disk drives,
512K memory, amber screen, IBM compatibility) and Tandy 100sx  (2
disk   drives,   256K  memory,  IBM  compatibility,  monitor  and
keyboard).  There is a sale on the Tandy 1000sx this  week  ($300
off)  but  it  is  not possible to see the computer to try it out
(all have been sold, even the display models).

I've been told that Radio Shack  ofers  24-hour  support  service
free for the first 30 days, has a 30-day grace period, and offers
more software for the Tandy 1000sx than Leading Edge  does.   How
IBM  compatible  is the Tandy 1000sx?  Can you run MIcrosoft Word
on the Tandy 1000sx?  How reliable is Leading Edge?

Thanks for any feedback you can give me.
