RE: using a TV as a monitor
You can do this in the methods mentioned previously, but keep in mind that
if you are using 80 column mode (usual mode for wordprocessing) then you
are not going to be happy with the video quality on a TV...it's blurry and
hard to read. However, TV's work fine for 40 column mode (many games).

One Word Processor you might want to get is FrEdWriter. It is a
"educational" version based on FreeWriter which has a 40 column/80 column
toggle, has a nice tutorial with it, and works well for basic word
processing. It will run on any II with 64K of RAM, although you might need
to get the II+ upgraded to handle upper/lower case (the original II+ only
did uppercase, but the modification needed to produce lowercase text is
not difficult,and can be posted if needed).

There are several database programs, including a version of Stone's DB
Master which is shareware.
