The Micro Information Center of The University of Wisconsin Madison is 
currently trying to establish an official recommendation concerning 
IBM-compatible computers.  Our function is to aid the campus community 
in questions concerning all aereas of micro computing.  This also 
entails hardware recommendations.  Since we do sell IBM PS/2 machines to 
departments, we are looking for a lower priced alternative.  

We are interested in responses from users who own one or more machines 
of the following manufacturers:

Northgate
Zeos
Gateway 2000
Everex
AST
Dell
Tri-Star


We are interested in experiences concerning:	
   Service after the sale
   Any problems with sales people
   Reliability of the hardware 
   Networking experiences (especially running Novell)
   On-site Service quality


Please email any comments to either 

PBURKE@VMS.MACC.WISC.EDU  or to

GJOHNSON@VMS.MACC.WISC.EDU

Thank you for all responses. If there is a need for a compilation of all 
responses we are willing to post in this group.
