I have just started a Desktop Publishing  Service  business, called
The  Desktop  Solution  and am now in the process of purchasing
equipment and software.  My plan is to offer this DTP  service  to
small  businesses  for  the  production of newsletters, brochures,
company reports and manuals.

I have been advised to purchase Ventura  Desktop  Publisher, Version
1.1,  to run on an AT and use an HP Laser Jet Series II. The full
configuration I have been looking at is:

   AST Premium Model 80 with 640K
   40 MB Hard Disk
   1.2 MB Floppy
   Wyse 700 Display and Card
   Microsoft Mouse
   Microsoft Word, Version 4.0
   HP Laser Jet Series II with 1.5 MB

Is there anyone who can suggest a  better  configuration  or offer any
general comments on what I have been planning. Any advice or criticism
offered is most appreciated.
