  Curt, 

  I just arranged to purchase a Molecular 32 (CP/M) with 60 mg HD, tape backup, 4 terminals with enough internal boards for 12 users for $400.00.  I'm also buying, from the same fellow, an Altos with 40 mg HD and tape backup 4 user system for $100.00.  I think CP/M machines have hit rock bottom.  For simple word processing and modeming, they seem to be the best deal in town.
