- Well, my friend is not well knowing in the field of computers, so I think
- Windows would help him tremendously. That way, he has a big name he can
- ask around about and stupid salespeople [tm] will understand them.
-
- He does have some sort of windowing programming, but it's pretty wild and
- he doesn't even know how to use it completely...And he's had it for at least
- a year. He knows how to work a Mac somewhat, so I'd like to get him on the
- Windows track so he's in somewhat familiar territory. (No, I don't want to
- get into a Windows vs. Mac flame war.)

- :According to further info I got on the phone, it won't do WYSIWYG on
- :Hercules monochrome, but it will do it on CGA or better.
-
- Well, he has a little brother and the brother wants to be able to play games
- on the thing. CGA is...well...old...I'd like to get him setup with VGA at
- the very least, since it seems to be compatibile with everything out there.
-
- Also, what type of printer do you think he should get? What's a good (cheap
- =) Epson compatible printer that'll do graphics? (I will recommend PFS Write
- if he tells me that he doesn't want to overhaul his system.)
