For sale, $400 with printer, $350 without:

Atari 1040STf computer, with 13" color monitor, printer, mouse,
joysticks, and tons of software.
Very similar to an Amiga 1000. $470 cheaper than a student-discount Mac
Classic II, and it comes with a printer, COLOR monitor, and loads of
software.

Specs:

Motorola MC68000 processor @ 8MHz. Fast as a Mac Classic or SE, or a '286 PC.
Third-party available adapter (Spectre GCR) to run Mac black and white
software.

1 Meg RAM, 192K ROM-- TOS 1.0 (very compatible.)

1 720K 3.5" floppy drive, IBM-compatible (you can read and write IBM
disks, which means that with the Apple File Exchange, DOS Mounter Disk,
or SoftPC, you can export data [i.e. word processing documents] to a
Mac. Hell, you can even export data to a REAL IBM-compatible with a 3.5"
drive.)

13" hires RGB analog Atari SC 1224 color monitor. 640x400x16 colors, or
320x200x256 colors. Sound included. 

Printer specs:

Epson LX-90 dot-matrix with tractor feed. 160 cps draft, 40 cps letter
quality. Boldface, italics, underline, graphics, foreign fonts, the
works. Comes with 1000 sheets tractor-feed paper.

Serious Software:

Word Writer 2.0. PC-compatible word processor. 85,000 word spell
checker, thesaurus, outliner, mail merge, etc.
DEGAS Elite. Way cool paint program.
Lots of utilities (disk fixers, file managers, anti-viral stuff, etc.)

Games:

Falcon 1.3 with add on disk-- Operation: Firefight. Just like the PC
Falcon. Full color 3-D.
Their Finest Hour-- Awesome Lucasfilm WWII air combat simulator. Just
like PC version.
Populous-- Just plain fun.
Breach 2-- A futuristic wargame where you control a squad of Space
Marines. Much like "Aliens", only YOU control the Marines. Some serious
enemy AI here. Comes with add-on mission disk.
Prime Time-- Hilarious parody of running a TV network.
Carrier Command-- A huge (1 Meg, compressed to an 800K disk) wargame.
Command an aircraft carrier battle group against another carrier group.
Can take WEEKS to finish.

Other Software:

Lots of 3-D graphics stuff. 2 years' back issues of STart, an Atari ST
disk magazine.

Oh yeah:

2 joysticks, mouse, mouse pad, ALL documentation and cabling. Keyboard
is built-in.
