The following message is in response to the bad mouthing of 
CompuAdd:

First off, I believe that Mr. Goldstein is mistaken about the 
machines he is speaking of. CompuAdd has not built a 10Mhz 286
machine for years now, so unless he got them used, they don't
exist. I am the happy owner of a 286/12 from CompuAdd and I have
nothing but praise for them. I did have problems in the beginning
figuring out how to format my RLL hard drive, but a call to their
tech line straightened out matters for me. You have got to remember
that CompuAdd is not a mom and pop operation, they are going to be
a billion dollar company this year. CompuAdd computer owners are lucky
to have a tech line to call, or better yet, the 90 Superstores in
North America with walk in support and/or service.
I am not implying that Mr. Goldstein was lying in any way, but I must
show my loyalty and keep future computer buyers from being swayed 
heavily by one person's bad experiences. I must also point out that 
CompuAdd has recently revamped their entire computer line. The new
machines are low profile with integrated motherboards. The only
exceptions to this design are the 286/20 and 386 machines which are full
size units.
So essentially I'm just saying that if you are looking for a PC, do your
own research, look at the comparisons and what you get for your money
and make an informed decision.

I believe that I can now get off my soapbox.
Thank you for your attention.
