First of all, I am not a sales person from the store. I posted the notice as a favor to a friend. Second, I know QUITE a bit about IBM-PCs from first hand programming experience (8 years). The people who run the store are all recent OSU-CIS graduates who know more about you, the student's needs than most computer stores in the area. They too have a lot of experience with many types of PC's and have gone to a great expense to test out all of the equipment they sell. I too have participated in this testing and am quite confident intheir products. They have done all of this research and much more for the sole purpose of "making it" in a nearly saturated market. While it may be true that the very techinical problems may be hard to work out immediately, they have always been able to find the solutions. And, they have facilities to do most repair work in the shop. One advantage to working out of a store rather than a bedroom (also a little easier on the mind from my stand point). When I posted the previous article, I was not just doing a favor for the store, I was doing the general OSU public a favor by informing them of an option to going out to Micro Center or wherever. I do not knock people who are in themselve distributers of equipment. I did it myself for sometime and I know some others who are currently doing so. It seemed that my previouse posting may have offended some people and for this I am sorry. I also appologize for the direct advertsing on the NET that was so insistanly pointed out. This will be the last posting for the store and hopefully that will be that. Jon |\/| | | Glazer | | | | | |ICRO |/\|IZARD
