I don't know a lot about this company, but there is a place here in Atlanta
that you can get the same set-up for probably less than $1200. I think that
you could get 640k and a turbo machine for about that price, possibly a little
less. The company is named Software House. I don't have the number with me
right now, but I will get it to you when I find out what it is. I can vouch
for their reliability since I do all my computer shopping there. I got a
30mb Seagate hard disk for about $300, cheaper than the cheapest 20mb I could
find. (Except for a 20mb from Software House, of course.)
