If the friend has the cash, a cheap IBM clone may be the answer, at
least for semi-decent text editing (haven't seen a decent editor for
my "toy" C-64 or C-128, but maybe Emacs has me spoiled). A local
dealer is selling the  Leading Edge PC with the  Leading Edge WP,
monitor, two drives, and 512k of RAM for $1399, which sounds like a
pretty good deal to me (considering that a 128 with two drives and
color monitor would cost $1100, and it's nowhere near as powerful as a
PC-Drone).

Of course, if your friend wants to get in on the leading edge of
computing, he should get an Amiga :-).
