Skip everyone's advice and get a nice used TI-99/4A. You'll save even more
money. :-)

Something that really drives me nuts about people who say "Buy a Mac,
you'll have more money, blah, blah, blah" is that they don't seem to 
realize that not everyone wants a Mac. Sound is what I like, and a Mac
can't keep up with my OLD, OUTDATED, DISCONTINUED (but infinitely
superior :-) IIgs.
