I have the following observation to make: If you are in the market for a computer, you may want to seriously consider their 386SX product, simply because of the software that comes bundled with it. The computer appears to be a very ordinary machine, which 1 MB RAM, 49 MB disk, two floppies and standard VGA. Cost $1800 + $70 S&H. No flames to me please. If this is a poor machine, please post to the net. My comment is based on having NO knowledge of this machine. I also have a question: Does anyone have any experience with the CD ROM device they are offering for sale? Again, considering the software that comes bundled, it appears to be a good deal. Any opinions will be gratefully accepted. gerry -- gerry roston, field robotics center robotics institute, carnegie mellon university pittsburgh, pennsylvania, 15213 (412) 268-6557 gerry@cs.cmu.edu
