        Has anyone had any experience with mail order 386SX's ? Specifical-
ly, I'm considering the following machines :

        Micro Express ME386SX (voted EDITOR's CHOICE in august PC  magazine)

        Micro Express ME386SX/SL (highly recommended in august  BYTE  magazine )

        AMAX 386SX Business System


        Micro Express wins out in the performance/price ratio but it  seems
each  time  I  call,  the  shipping delays have been extended ( the ME386SX
isn't available until november !) Also, I'm wondering about the strength of
a warranty when shipping to Canada ?

        Any advice and comments are welcome.



                Thanks in advance.
