A client thinks he wants to equip their new PC Lab with IBM PS/2s.  I've been
trying to talk them out of it, but it's not going so well.

What I need is some published articles describing the computer in depth, or
perhaps a failure report.  Specifically, there seems to be a severe problem
with their 3.5" drives.

At another lab, consisting of thirty Model 30's w/ two 720K drives per
computer, we have had to swap about 50 drives in the past year.  Of course,
they are now about 3 months out of warranty, so it's getting expensive.

Anyway, is this sort of problem consistant along their entire product line, or
just an isolated case?  

If anyone has any pointers to some good "IBM-bashing" articles, please let me
know.
