These machines make great word processors, fax machines and other 
"one-trick pony" type machines.

I used to use one in my kitchen as an instant recipe database 
(thousands of recipes).

I eventually gave it (outfitted with MS Word 5.1a and a Stylewriter 
printer) to a writer friend who hated computers. She only uses it as a 
word processor, but she LOVES it. She can't bring herself to buy a full 
computer because she has no interest in these machines as anything 
other than word processors (she even uses WebTV for email and web 
surfing (bleah!)).
