	Why did your friend order his PC FROM AT & T?  Does one go to IBM
to buy an IBM PC?  I didn't even know that AT & T sold individual units to
individual people.  There are computer stores which he could have/should have/
probably did in the end go to buy a computer.  After all, in a computer
store, it is kind of hard to hide the fact that they dont have a model in
stock.
