Linda, the IBM looks slick, but there are much better deals for the money. For $3500 (IBM+17in mon=$4000) I just bought a HP7420 with 2 g HD,32 MB RAM, 56k mod, 166mhz MMX, APC Back-UPS Pro 650 power supply, Jaz drive, Zip+, and a beautiful Hitachi SuperScan Pro 800 21" monitor (easier to read those charts.) The icing on this delicious cake is that thanks to the new CompUSA in Raleigh I don't have to pay for it for six months (leave that all in IOM-- probably end up getting the whole thing for free.) FWIW, the HP 7040 I bought 2 years ago w/133mhz, 16mb RAM, 33.6 mod was $2300--unbelievable. $200 more than the $1300 I spent on a 17" Mitsubishi monitor then, now bought the 21" Hitachi.
Feelin' lucky to be livin' in the Silicon Revolution,
