Add 5,000 machines that UPI bought to that Army order.  If the Z-100 had
a detached keyboard, I would not hesitate to recommend it against any
other PCoid machine.

Re: reliability: ours is over a year old and not one thing has ever gone
wrong--except for the stupid door latch on the Tandon 5-1/4" floppy.
This took some real pains to fix (though W&A, my company, now sells
spares because of this) since Zenith doesn't stock the stupid things.
The stupids at Tandon take 4 weeks to process spares orders, and though
we're no more than 15 miles from their factory, they wouldn't let us
will-call!  As for the Z-100, though, it's worked juuust fine.
