Not quite.  They did review ALOT of machines, but by no means all of them.  In
fact, they specifically mentioned a couple that did not get reviewed, right in
the front of the article.

However, it is an _excellent_ starting point for research.  After reading a lot
of stuff on the net, though, I would augment the material presented by trying to
speak with people who have experienced the machines I ultimately was interested
in.  It seems that 'the average guy on the street' sometimes gets different
service, etc. from the manufacturer/marketer than PC-MAGAZINE.  This is not
intended as a flame against anyone or any company, just an observation. :-)
