I did not buy my computer from them, but they do know what they are talking about. Their staff actually know what computers are, and know how to use the computers that they sell. They do have high(er) prices than some other places, but if I were a computer novice looking to buy a computer I would definitly choose them. (By the way, this is E. Lansing Michigan) Now for the complaint department: CBM seems to have forgotten about how good it is to sell (cheaply)/give schools computers (preferably Amigas :-) ). I think that the Amiga could be a great educational success if schools only knew about them. Here at MSU, everything is MessyDos and Macintosh, since IBM, Apple, Zenith, etc... sell their computers to MSU students and MSU at a considerable discount. In fact, IBM just *gave* msu a whole bunch of PS/2's for them to install in dorm rooms as an educational experiment. ( Yes, I realize CBM has many fewer dollars than does IBM ). This is a BIG win for those companies, since people will eventually buy another computer, or have influence in what computers the company they work for will buy. I here people trying to solve silly problems they are haveing with MSDOS because of this or that, and I have said, "Well, If only you had an Amiga, you would not have to have those silly TSR's" or "A single Amiga could be doing what you have those 5 PC's doing the the machine room and taking up lots of extra space". The answer I get? Usually ignored because there are no Amigas easily available, + no support if they got any. I hope CBM does something about this problem, asap.
