The infomation desired is most readily obtained by calling the manufacturers and asking them. This method is not only faster and more accurate, but saves the entire net the cost of transporting and storing your message. Sorry to sound so rude, but I'm fed up with people seeing the net as an information panacea. For many types of queries, there are simply better ways to find the answer. -- Roy Smith, {allegra,cmcl2,philabs}!phri!roy System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016

I'm not sure why you think it's more expedient for him to find the numbers
for, and then call, give different manufacturers. This information will
probably be of interest to others on the net too.
You didn't include it on the list, but NEC offers a 5 year warranty.

When, what a narrow mind! If the net isn't for the sharing of info then what is it for? As a manager who has to justify the use of very valuable computer equip- ment for this activity, I am confused. I certainly find it easier to prove my case by showing how a guy near Rantoul, Ill. uses the net to get answers to his questions than explaining the nonsense that propagate throughout the net. If you aren't here to share info then you are playing a game on all of us. Remember that even some of your burning concerns are boring to others. We all share the cost of keeping this ship afloat, some more than others, so take it easy.
