Hi, Does anyone know about 'tulip' computer systems? I have been recommended to buy one, and have never heard of them. What are they good at? Thanks in advance, Daryl Whitwood. dwhitwood@miclon.co.uk ...uunet!mcvax!ukc!miclon!dwhitwood

Tulip computers are 'Produce of Holland'. We categorize them as more
or less mainstream MS-DOS clones. They're no better or worse than any other
MS-DOS clone. We just call 'm 'brand-clones', meaning that they're better
than the average Taiwan clone (regarding service, support and [partly]
design), less good than, let's say, IBM's PC's.
They're good at being an MS-DOS computer. No more no less.
