    A friend of mine bought a '286 from them a few years back. Pricing
was very competitive.

    Quality. OK. She hasn't had any problems that I know of. None major,
anyway. The only problem with the machine that I can recall offhand is
it has trouble interfacing with 360 KB floppy drives, even tho the
Flopp Controller docs say it can handle everything under the sun.

    Oh, yeah, about the docs. Written in Japglish...or is that 
Englisanese??? Anyway, if you like reading poorly written docs talk to
ZEOS.

    Fairly compatible. Won't run BASICA, obviously. HAs problems here
and there with misc. peices of software and games. Nothing major,
just minor annoyances.

P.S. Also look at Gateway and Dell.
