Hello there, Quite a few mail order stores are advertising the new Sanyo PC. With a price of about $800 ( disk drive and some software included ) looks like a nice buy. Any one out there have more info on these machines? Things like what ibm-pc programs will/will not run on these beasts without modification and stuff? Any details about the hardware? Thanks. seismo!rochester!sumit sumit@rochester

Interestingly, some retailers are really out on a limb for this machine, having begun advertising three or four months ago. I was particularly surprised to find that Olympic Sales (large mail order house) which stocks some PC copies was telling their customers early on not to order a computer until they have seen the Sanyo. Anybody seen one? Ben Leimkuhler
