Three years ago, I bought the above computer to use when I began grad
school.  Over the next year of classes, I added software, a half-page hand
scanner,and a math coprocessor.  Then I selected an avisor and began
research - in his lab full of Macs.  Using his Macs and liking them, I only
touched my 286 for light word processing.  Lately made acutely aware of the
changing economics of the computer market, I figured I'd best sell this
computer while it was still worth something.

Along with the above, the package includes a Seikosha 9-pin printer, Turbo
Pascal 5.5, Publish It!, Wordstar 5.5 and PCTools 6.0.  I have all manuals.

I'd prefer to sell this all to someone in the Northwestern University area,
because this is a lot to ship.I'd also prefer to sell it all as a package.
I'd like to get $850 for the "kit & kaboodle" (computer, monitor, 287 chip,
software and scanner) but am willing to hear best offers.

Please e-mail or call (708) 332-2340 in eves and ask for Mitch.  If you are
in my area, call and we can arrange a time for you to drop in and test the
merchandise.
