If you read the ad , included with the system are a number of well know
packages (such as Wordstar 2000), a color EGA monitor (14 inch) with graphics
adapter, and a 40 MB hard disc. The ad also states an 18 month warrenty.

I am not familiar with The Soft Warehouse but do they include a 30 day money
back guarentee like DAK? Have they been around for close to a decade?

I'll lay my money on the DAK/Packard Bell deal.
