Hi there,

You wanted to know about AMSTRAD computers.. well lets see.

They tend to be very reliable, they dont tend to suffer from Memory Errors or
Disk errors too often and when they do, its usually because you have been doing
something silly, rather than an actual problem.  The 2386 (which is the one I
expect you are after), is Very fast, in fact, for some programs this can even
be a problem, ie some games work too fast.  It has 4Meg of Ram and here in the
UK it is currently coming with a free copy of Windows V2.01 (I think), plus
mouse...  From my own experience (I have always had AMSTRADS) they are very
good, if you want to know more you will have to Email me as I have no News
account and can only read News on a good day..

Hope you choose the right one in the end.

Liz Kimber
