     Some traffic has recently passed here about the possibility of
purchasing the Zenith Data Systems Z-120 computer through the Govenrment
Employees' Association at substantial savings.   This is correct!  Since
the Air Force and Navy contracted with Zenith to provide a minimum of
6,000 of these units, the GEA has been selected as the vehicle to make
the very same items available to any government employee (federal,
state, or local) by making application to the GEA, along with a one-time
$10 membership fee.
     Anyone can write to the GEA at:
          Government Employees' Association, Inc.
          P.O. Box 2405
          Arlington, VA  22202 or phone them at:  (703) 920-5800 and
receive the complete Zenith ordering package.
     Here are a few examples of the items offered and their cost:

ZFG-121-32      Z-120 computer with dual disk drives, 192K memory.
                includes: CP/M-85, BASIC-80, diagnostic software,
                technical reference manual, 10 floppy disks.
                $1,799.00

ZWG-121-32      Same as above except one of the two floppy drives
                is replaced with a 10MB Winchester.
                $2,799.00

ZVM-135         13" RGB and composite color monitor with cable.
                $360.00

Z-205           256K memory expansion board.
                $379.00

HMS-837-4       BASIC compiler (8-bit)
                $40.00

HCD-8937-1      CONDOR 8-bit DBMS.
                $110.00

CD-463-1        CONDOR 16-bit DBMS
                $50.00

     There are numerous other items (three pages worth) available.  For
complete details, contact the GEA.  I sent my order in on Monday, the
12th of December.  I will keep the net informed as to the progress of
that order so that you may have some idea of the timelines involved.
     On a final note ... I heard that Zenith will make these prices
available to any non-profit group (clubs, schools, etc.) that purchase
at least 25 computers.  This has not been verified.
