Hi,

I don't know if I'm in the right place but perhaps someone could help
me or direct me to soemone who can.  I have been offered an Apple LC
4/40  and a b&w HP Deskwriter for 50 pounds sterling. I know it works
because I've tried it out and it seems fine. However, coming from an
IBM PC background I know very little about Apple Macs and want to know
if it is worth buying. I'm trying to set my parents up with a basic
computer system that they can use to write letter and keep track of
their small business incomings and outgoings and I though this might
be ideal.  What I'm coming around to asking is, am I likely to be able
to be able to get software off the 'Net that will run on this machine?
Also, will I be able to download it onto my PC and then transfer it
over?... I know I can format disks on the Apple that can be read on
PC.   

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

regards,

Paul Burton
