As far as a card being sent in for repair, Tandy has started a policy within the last two years which in effect prevents warranty problems with the cards. If the card is damaged which is unlikely as they are fairly easy to install even to a novice, Radio Shack will replace the card with a NEW one and they will take care of the repair of the card. The Tandy 1000's are 99.9% compatible with the IBM PC the .1% is the case in which Tandy software does not run on the IBM PC, but with all of the software available for the PC who cares. I have been in the market for a PC for some time and when the time comes to purchase one it will be a Tandy, because you can not beat the price or the support/service that Radio Shack/Tandy gives you with a local Area Training and Support Center within driving distance. They also offer classes for the beginner to get started with the package which is included DESKMATE , which is seven packages in one (filer,spreadsheet,telecom,calendar, text editor, etc.) Daryl R.
