FYI, in the latest issue of PC Mag, a mail order company, CMO (Computer Mail Order), made a mistake in their ad for PC/XT's and their systems that usually sell for $679 without hard disk (an average low price for mail order) was advertised as including a 20Mb hard disk (similar mistakes were made for other video and disk capacities). I called them and they were aware that they made this error and decided that for the month of October, they would honor these prices, sort of. To lessen the damage, they won't include the monitor. The monitor (monochrome) sells for $70. Bottom line, you can get, til the end of October, a PC/XT with monochrome video and monitor and 20Mb hard disk for $760. The normal price is $950. (Other disk and video prices are also low because of this mistake.) I have heard of friends buying stuff from CMO with good results. Cheers, Dan Ts'o 212-570-7671 Dept.
