     PLEASE E-MAIL REPLIES.  Thanks.

     I have a friend who is interested in the ST, but who has
no computer background.  Although I do have the background, it is
with mainframes, Suns, & PCs.  Therefore, I ask:  Would anyone
care to advise her about the pros & cons of the ST.  Specifically:

    1)  Religious responses from converts
    2)    "           "       "  haters (if any)
    3)  Availability of good word-processing software
    4)  Reliability (hardware, OS, & applications)
    5)  Sources of info (e.g. user magazines, etc.)
    6)  Comparisons with the Amiga, PC, IBM 1401 :-) , etc.
    7)  How fast is software becoming available (PD & Purchased)
    8)  Compatability of peripherals  
    9)  Good dealers / mail order houses specializing in STs
    A)  Anything else.

                         Thanks much,
