Hello there,

	I have been thinking of getting an AT&T UNIX PC (for my
own personal use) for some time now.  I saw an ad in UNIX WORLD
about a place called TRC (Technology Resource Center) in L.A.

	I have an few questions:

	1.  Anyone had any experiences (positive or negative)
	    with this company?

	2.  Any other companies that accept non-local orders for
	    the UNIX pc?  (I live in a remote area - nothing other
	    than a PC available locally.)

	3.  Software to buy - TRC's ad had a number of packages listed.
	    As a minimum I'd want the full UNIX - C compiler, nroff,
	    awk, all standard utilities.  My guess is that purchasing
	    `UNIX System V Release 3.51' and `UNIX Utilities 3.51' would
	    provide this; correct me if I am wrong.

The ad says the system is 10MHZ 68010 based.  Prices thay give are about
$1900 for a system with a 40Mb hard disk, $2400 for 60Mb.  I realize that
this is no longer considered state-of-the-art, but I don't have the $$$
for the latest AT&T, Sun, or NeXT box :-(.

Reply directly to me and I will summarize to the net in a few weeks.
