:compatible.  No Windows required.

  Well, my friend is not well knowing in the field of computers, so I think
Windows would help him tremendously. That way, he has a big name he can
ask around about and stupid salespeople [tm] will understand them.

  He does have some sort of windowing programming, but it's pretty wild and
he doesn't even know how to use it completely...And he's had it for at least
a year. He knows how to work a Mac somewhat, so I'd like to get him on the
Windows track so he's in somewhat familiar territory. (No, I don't want to
get into a Windows vs. Mac flame war.)

:According to further info I got on the phone, it won't do WYSIWYG on
:Hercules monochrome, but it will do it on CGA or better.

  Well, he has a little brother and the brother wants to be able to play games
on the thing. CGA is...well...old...I'd like to get him setup with VGA at
the very least, since it seems to be compatibile with everything out there.

  Also, what type of printer do you think he should get? What's a good (cheap
=) Epson compatible printer that'll do graphics? (I will recommend PFS Write
if he tells me that he doesn't want to overhaul his system.)
