This week there is an ad in the NY Times Science section (where all of 
the computer stores advertise) for what looks to me like the best price
yet for a complete XT clone system. It includes:
Fountain XT compatible
256 k ram
single 360 k drive
20 meg hard disc
monochrome monitor
price $849

My concern is that this is too good to be true, since comparible systems
seem to go for $1200-1500.  If you have any knowledge of the Fountain 
equipment please e-mail to me.  Is there anything in particular I should
be concerned about in a system of this type?
