Lines: 17 Keywords: 80386,hardware,vendor Ever want to get a piece of hardware and find out that since you're not a fortune 500 company (I, personally, am not) that you have to send cash up front. Of course you have. Has anyone ever heard of Scientific Storage Technology of Spofford, NH ? They make a line of computers called Quantus. They have a really budget 80386 machine but I just cannot bring myself to send them $3000.00 when I've never heard of the place before. They require cash first, computer later. If you (Yes, you!) have ever dealt with this company and they, indeed, really exist, could you please drop me a note. I'd hate to have to spend more cash than I need to. Also, if you have any idea whether or not their hardware is any good, could you also include that. I'd do the same for you. Thanks. rich@devvax.jpl.nasa.gov
