- I own a pair of 16A's. My primary application is Scripsit, which I use
- to do freelance writing. The 16A's cost me $40 and $30 dollars, respectively,
- and each cost me $50 dollars to ship. The total cost was recovered in two
- months worth of freelance submissions (three published op-ed pieces).
-
- I also, until just recently, used Profile+ to maintain a 2,000 name
- theatrical mailing list (one 8" floppy).
-
- I also, occasionally, use Visacalc to do some spreadsheet work.
-
- I do everything on floppy; I do not own a hard drive. I enjoy the cursor
- and the simpleness of the system with its floppies. The 68000 section
- of my machines has been removed, in essence making the 16A's Model 2's
- with a pair of slim-line drives.
-
- Sometimes less is more, you know?
