1) Isn't is sourCes?
2) This mail looks like advertisement. If that magazine is an off-shoot of
Computer Shopper, I would be skeptic.  Most magazines, but particularly CS
depend heavily on advertisement to survive.  I would expect that ZEOS, which
spends a lot in adds turns out with a good image.  PC Mag 'seems' to be
more impartial.
3) You can buy equivalent machines at lower prices, that's how I bought
my Shamrock. A t the time, Gateway 2000 and Blackship had better prices.
And they obtained good grades in PC Mag.
4)"A lot of thought went into the making of ....":  Isn't that what 
everybody says? (probably true, also, otherwise, how could you get into
the market?
