   As I said my attraction was the CPM Software aviliable becasue of it's   
   compatability with the Onsorne/Kaypro suitcase computers. There was an   
   Income tax program that I used for several years before going to hte XT   
   clone. Plus Genealogy program was another CPM program that I liked.   
   I did use the 128 side of the computer and there was a nice selection   
   there alos. NONE of which were 64 compatable becaue they needed a 80   
   character screen as I recall.
