I was all ready to purchase an IBM-PC when I found a dealer selling
(when it becomes available next month) the new Columbia Data Products
VP portable IBM Clone for $2300.  This includes all the software they
throw in.  This sounds almost too good to be true.  I would appreciate
any opinions on the Columbia especially its quality and degree of
compatibility with the IBM.  Also opinions on the "free" software
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
