WE use one's built across the road from us and they all work perfectly.  These
computers are just built out of parts you can buy anywhere in Taiwan and
chucked together, so there is certainly nothing special about them.

Novell never complains.  Find a salesman who know's what he/she's talking
about, because you have to rely on these people for a long time for service
and support, adn if they have no idea what they're talking about, you lose.

What do you have when there's a computer salesman up to his neck in concrete?

---Not enough concrete!
