I don't know if people like the Rainbow.  As to whether there is software
for it...I just received a catalogue of DEC PC software available from
DEC.  It lists about 50 packages which seem to include all the latest and
greatest including 1-2-3 and Microsoft Windows.  I don't know how there
can be anything BUT software for the stupid system, it runs CP/M in adition
to MS-DOS (I mean real old-fashioned 8bit CP/M) and I know that there's
a lot of software available for generic CP/M.

>From what I can tell the Rainbow seems to be short only in the game software
department.  Anyway, why buy a Rainbow?  Get a Rainbow 100+.  It makes
more sense.
