[comp.sys.tandy] My two cents & RE: Tandy Serial Mouse

up4@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (11/04/90)

I just wanted to suggest (to those of you who haven't already decide on it)
that you buy your add-ons from companies other than TANDY.  For one thing,
they don't have a large variety and in general, their prices are at least
two to three times higher than anyone elses.  There may be slight problems
finding companies that make cards or other specifically for TANDY computers,
but many cards don't need to be "TANDY" cards, and neither do most drives, or
at least not the ones I have put in my TX.  There is a dedicated TANDY
magazine out there as well called PCM.  If for nothing else, get it for the
comanies that advertise in it.  The money it will save you in the end will
more than pay for the subscription.

As for the person who bought a TANDY mouse, you might want to take it back
and order an inexpensive mouse from someone else.  For that reason, you could
get Logitech mouse for about the same cost, and it's a much better buy.
Of course, I have had problems returning BAD merchandise to Radio Shack.
Then again, that may be just the stores around here.  Anyway, returning
that is you best hope of it ever working like you want it too.
