We are buying Compaq's just as if they are PC's. I understand they
have some kind of liscencing agreement with IBM to use PC ROM's and
are therefore much more compatible than other clones. Some info-micro
message traffic indicated that Flight Simulator _d_i_d_ work on the
Compaq, but the software was configured for the portable {whatever
that means}. What with the portability problems between PC, XT, and
_AT_, It is a good idea to bring in your Compaq to the computer store,
and make them show you that the software works!

...and it has a handle!
