Greetings and salutations, newsgroup subscibers.

I am not a regular subscriber to this newsgroup, as I am not rich enought
to own a PC (not yet, anyway), but a situtation has presented itself and
it seems this group may be able to provide me with some valuable advice.

It seems that, at a new/used computer store just down the street from me, an
IBM PC with 128Kb storage has just come on sale.  The package includes DOS
1.1...and they say that's about it.  (Complete system hardware, anyway...)
That, and two SSDD diskdrives.

Now, my question is, what with the dearth of software it comes with, is it 
worth my plunking down $250 for?  How availible is other languages for
it?  Will I have to get a DOS upgrade (I would imagine so) and how much
will this cost?  I would at least like BASIC for it...where, and how much?

I will check back here for replies, so follow up to the group (email if any-
one has any really good advice/suggestions/cheap software sources [yes, I know,
ha.  But maybe they exist])

I need a quick answer...its's on consignment, and not likely to last long.
Same with the $250 I may have to pay for it.
