- I have the Brother WP-2200 and like it a lot. The only two drawbacks are
- the spreadsheet capabilities that take up too much space on the hard disk
- and the floppy holds 1/10th of what a DOS formatted floppy does.
-
- Spring for a few extra bucks and get one of the Brother models that format
- the floppy is MS-DOS format. It'll be worth it later if a MDS-DOS pc comes
- into the picture.
