Where are Dayton's prices.

The prices were for employees only.

I will admit that even if they are the best prices,
the AT&T 6300 seems to have alot of people in this world
upset about compatiblity problems. (some of the flames I
received from MIT were pretty severe.) If anyone out there 
has had problems, it would be nice to see them posted on
the network so that the world can be further educated.

However I have spent the last nine months reading every
computer magazine I could get my hands on to find the all 
around best computer on the market in terms of price and
reliability. (and the prices I talked about even beat
those Korean boxes).

What I wanted was a machine that could run Un*x fast, had
a good hard disk, and a good color monitor.

The system I purchased was a:

		PC's Limited 12-286.


Right now if I had a couple of thousand sitting around,
I would probably buy the

		Compaq 12 Mhz computer.

And if I had some money in the bank earning low interest rates,
I would buy an IBM.

But the prices I found for the AT&T PC were soooooooooo low,
that I bought two, and if I could of bought a six-pack, I would of.

Now I am setting up a LAN in my bedroom so I can really do some
serious work, after I get two more phone lines put in,
and have figured out how to get them working together with all the great
computers at the University of Illinois, this world is going to be in 
real trouble. (more trouble then I am in)

If anyone out there knows of where I can get up a cheap LAN, 
I would appreciate some comments. 
(but heck I'll probably build it myself)

To the world, I apologize for my rudeness to Nathan, I had my reasons,
but there seem to be quite a few people who think I was wrong, so
just this time I will agree with everyone.
