Greg, although I do not have a great love of IBM computers, they do have
very strong support and marketing, which rates them highly with administrators.

We have two labs with IBM PS/2 50s, and have had only 4 service calls since
they were installed 18 months ago, and that includes printers.  As far as I
can tell, your problems appear to be related to the model 30s, or to your
machines specifically.
