My Dad is computer-shopping to replace his *original* IBM PC 
with something more up-to-date. I have talked him out of a 386SX 
and he is goign to go for the 386SX with all the trimmings. He
really only runs Wordperfect 4.0 but I suspect that he will love
Windows once he gets it.

My questions:

1) Does anyone know what the difference is between an Everex "Step" and
an Everex "Tempo"?

2) How woudl you compare an Everex to a Gateway or a Zeos?

3) should we be looking at anything else? Good tech support is VERY important
   to Dad.

4) anyone know where these machines are made? 


I would appreciate any advice. I used to be really knowledgable about 
8088 clones but I have worked only with VAXen and Unix boxes for the 
last few years, and it shows. Please reply email as I don't want to 
start a "best-brand" public flame (unless everyone is really interested) c
            thanks, Betsy
