Hi Paul, Re: Intel is Storming Into the Lead in sub $1000 PCs Sure seems that way. If memory serves, a couple of month ago Intel announced that it will address the sub-1000 market with cacheless PII's, due out in the 4th quarter of 1998. However, according to one of your earlier posts today, the CNET link says Covington (cacheless PII) is due in APRIL!! This is really good news towards pulling the sub1K market towards slot 1, fast. On a slightly separate subject, how do you think Intel's networking announcement on Feb 24th will affect COMS? Shahen Petrosian.

Paul, Umax systems come with Iomega Zip drives as a STANDARD (internal ATAPI) in all their systems. Funny they don't mention it in their listing until you look at the specifications. They apparently cater to the graphics intensive crowd and if you don't want a Zip you can get a Jaz or Ditto drive instead (also Iomega). They also include Adobe software packages bundled as standard. I'm currently shopping for a PentiumII based system to migrate to. Have done all my stuff on Macs for last few years and am wondering how to bring over files especially MacDrawPro files. Got about $2K to spend. You, anyone can suggest good configuration/vendor? Really pleased that Intel and Techs are finally rolling again. I think the pent up bonus and pension funds are now being put to work after the worse of the Asia scare has subsided. The relative performance of the .25 micron P-IIs vs. .35 micron P-IIs is quite impressive. AMD K6 and the Cytrix version will be CPU trash by the April price reductions. Then DOJ could be a problem. Regards, David S. Long on Intel and Iomega
