For those of you (on the west coast in particular) who have purchased
the 520ST I was wondering about a couple of things.  Does the 520ST come
with any software?  Are you getting a color screen with your purchases?
What are you paying for the machine?  What kinds of options are available
and at what price?  (I mean add-on options i.e. harddisk?)  Does it have
full 80-column editing and can it also handle 40-column?  What is the 
documentation like, lengthy, technical, simple-minded etc.?

I am obviously real interested in buying a 520ST especially since the 
announcement of the CD-ROM.  But before I do I want to know more about it.


Thank you for the information.
Jack Fine
