A friend in NY has persuaded so many people to buy a Fortune clone that
they gave him one.   He has no connection with the company, at least he
did not)  He now has about 6 computers and writes for some
computer magazines (i.e. knowledgeable, with a vast array of software).
I saw the Fortune at a show in SF Bay Area loaded, with 20 meg, for
about $1400.  Other systems I priced were $1100 (20 meg, 640k, parallel,
serial, clock, monochrome graphics and monitor).
