My machine was originally scheduled to ship Feb 23. Due to "production delays", it shipped Feb 28 (3 working days late) and arrived Mar 2. I had to call them to find out about the late shipment. I bought the 386-20 with a Seagate 4096 (80 MB) and NEC 3D monitor. Beats the socks off my 8 Mhz XT at home and the 12 Mhz 286 I use at work. -- Bob Fisher US Defense Logistics Agency Systems Automation Center DSAC-TSX, Box 1605, Columbus, OH 43216-5002 614-238-9071 (AV 850-9071) bfisher@dsac.dla.mil osu-cis!dsacg1!bfisher
