a real paean to the alleged superiority of Tandy products.

What he didn't tell you the first time around that his machine:

is a system owned by Tandy's Computer Products Engineering group.

Come now, Roy...didn't you want to admit that you were just plugging
your own products?

Another thing he didn't tell you is that the Tandy computer group is, at
least at the retail level, uniformly staffed with the worst dullards who
ever tried to claim any knowledge of computers. The few who really do
know something get lost in the noise. The service staff is abysmal, and
only stopped blaming problems with Tandy machines on non-Tandy hardware
- even such innocuous things as memory chips - when a court ordered them
to.

The real reason that business stays with IBM, as opposed to going to
Tandy, is that Tandy is a terrible company to do business with. I
wouldn't think of recommending them to a company that needed any kind of
support at all.

Sorry if this sounds bitter; I've had many bad experiences with Tandy
products, and Tandy "software", and Tandy "service". Never again.
