I'm in the market for a 286 AT class machine, and am presently considering
several companies. But there is one company I don't know about, and haven't
heard experiences (good, or bad) about. I was wondering if anybody out there
has one of their machines or done business with the company before.

Company:	Express Micro Mart Inc.
		West Bloomfield, MI
		(800) 533-0177
Machine:	EXP 286/12-16
		-------------------------
		6,8,12,16 (16 Mhz with 0-wait state memory)
		8 Expansion Slots (with 6-16 Bit)
		512K Dram
		Award BIOS
		1.2 FDD
		66MB/23 ms HDD (Drive is by Mitsubishi) 
		2 Parallel ports
		2 Serial ports
		Clock/Calendar
		2 Game ports
		101 Key Keyboard
		FCC Class 'B' approved nickel plated case.
		200W Power Supply

Price:		$1249.00 (With Monochrome Monitor & Card)
		$1123.00 (Without Monitor & Card)

This seems like a pretty good bargain to me, but I've never heard of the
company or done business with them before. Also, I like Mitsubishi major
electronics (TV's, VCR', etc.), but are their hard disks any good?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
