A friend of mine is getting ready to buy an IBM PC lookalike for word
processing (he's a journalist).  The machine he is considering is the PC II
from Triex Technologies.

The package he has been offered includes (for $2500):

  CPU with 640K of ram
  2 360K floppy drives
  Toshiba 1340 Dot Matrix Printer
  12" monochrome monitor
  The word processor he wants, and
  all cables, some disks & paper, etc.

I'd appreciate any comments about the reliability of the machine, the
reputation of Triex, how good a deal this price is, etc.

I'll be more than happy to summarise to the net.

						Thanks in advance,
						Karl
