I bought a 1000 TX about a year and a half ago, and have been very
pleased with it.  Like others have said, you can generally find
peripherals which work fine with Tandys made by other companies for
a fraction of the price (comparable to the price of peripherals for
any other IBM compatible).  I've found that the best source of info
on these companies is PCM magazine, published by Falsoft, which is 
a Tandy-specific magazine.  It's full of adds for Tandy-compatible
peripherals.  I got a 32 Meg hard card by mail order this way and
it was cheap and it works fine.  You can really find anything you
need, and most of the places have 1-800 numbers if you have 
questions.

Good luck,
