(I am not an IBM nut, so if I say something vague that is important, please
tell me, so I can clarify it.)

  A friend of mine has (from what I can tell) an old IBM compatible. He already
has a 20 meg hard drive, a mouse, a (semi-broken) printer, and a modem (he
has a Prodigy account). However, my friend would love to be able to do WYSIWYG
word processing and maybe a little programming.

  So my question is:

	What computer set up do you recommend for me friend?

  Please try to be as economical as possible, since I don't know how much he
wants to spend.

  Mail or post your suggestions. (I'd prefer posting, so I can see what other
people think of your suggestion.)

  Thanks in advance for your help.

						John

(I was personally thinking of recommending a PS/1 with Windows 3.x and an Epson
compatible printer.)
