Knowing what I do about the Tandy 2000 (not all that much I assure
you), I think that if all he is going to run is that dental package
he had better test it out at the store first.  I know that, while it
is MSDOS compatible, it is known NOT to be even close to fully IBM 
compatible, though many popular packages have been ported to it.  It
does have a nicer screen and resolution, and I like the keyboard. 
Running the 80186 makes it fairly fast but is also the source of
the incompatibilities.  Also, in regards to exp[ansion, I do not
think the 2000 takes standard IBM compatible expansion cards.
