[net.micro] Opinions Wanted...

Hi,
  I am in the market for a new computer, and I am looking into various PC
Compatibles, and Clones.  I have not had much experience with any of these,
so I am turning to you, my fellow netters, to solicit your opinions, experiences
and just general thoughts on any/all of the compatibles available out there.
Price is not a great consideration.  I am looking for a reliable machine, that
performs well.  Any help you could give me will be greatly appreciated!
  Thanks in advance.
     Kevin Campbell

It sounds like you want a Compaq.  They specialize in IBM compatibility,
but with better performance.  If you want a PC-compatible, get their DeskPro
-- which will operate at PC speed or significantly faster (changed on the
fly by Ctrl-Alt-\).  If you lean more toward an AT-type machine, get their
DeskPro 286 or Portable 286.

I have no relationship with Compaq except as a satisfied customer.
