Hoo boy!  If you think the IIgs is slow wait'll you try that Model 25 (better
hurry and get it 'cause IBM no longer has them in production -- what's in
inventory is all there are).

The Model 25 is a Turkey (capital 'T').  If you GOTTA be cheap, get the
Model 30-286E, but the Model 50Z (or even the Model 70) is a WHOLE lot
more comparable to the Mac line (at comparable prices too).  On the whole,
you WILL get what you pay for.
