	Good morning!  Has anyone out there had any experiences, good or
bad, with a Marlboro, MA, firm called VNS America Corp. and/or the Siva
computer systems they market?  These are the folks offering the free 386
system when one buys $3000 in additional hardware or $5000 in software from
them, but that's out of my league.  I am intrigued by their *286* system,
however.  In the back of the current PC magazine, they're offering their
base monographics 512K 12 MHz 286 box with a Seagate ST251-1 40 MB HD for
$1300.  For an additional $400, this becomes a 1 MB EGA system.  That seems
a reasonable amount of bang for $1700 bucks, with something left of one's
$2K for a printer to hang on it.  Is there any reason that I should run
quickly in the other direction from either this firm or this computer?  Any
reason that I should grab it quickly?  Anyplace you know of that I could get
even *more* bang for approximately that many bucks?  Inquiring minds want to
know . . . . and we thank you for your support.
