I personally like Hewlett Packard, the number one workstation vendor.  Other
people here like Suns and Apples (they make pretty pictures).  All three
fit in pretty well together.  The only vendor I would stay away from is that
other three letter initial vendor who sells (ugh) proprietary operating
systems... I think it is CED or EDC or something... :-)
