Now who is "cutting the baloney"? Instead of buying Northgate, buy from
MCS and save $300 on a completely configured system that is ready to
plug-in-and-go. Or use the extra $300 to add another megabyte of RAM, a
printer, or some other peripheral to your computer system.
Today you can find system units in the pages of magazines at outrageously
low prices. Do these vendors even know what Unix(tm) is? Ask them! Most
importantly, WE USE WHAT WE SELL FOR OUR OWN IN-HOUSE WORK, from billing
to advertisement production to software development. You are assured that
your system WILL function properly for you -- whether your operating system
of choice is MSDOS, Unix/Xenix or OS/2.
Now you can get back-of-the-magazine prices -- from a firm that is committed
to excellence. We don't just sell you a piece of hardware -- we sell you
a SOLUTION. If you want a fast system you can get it anywhere. If you
ALSO want service and support, you can't get it anywhere else.
The sophisticated purchaser looks beyond the "lowball" price of the heavy
discounters. They demand:
. CPUs and peripherals that are used within their design specifications.
(ie: no 16 Mhz CPUs running at 25 Mhz) MCS USES ONLY RATED COMPONENTS ON
THESE SYSTEMS. WE DON'T SKIMP ON QUALITY!
. Experienced and knowledgable technical support who KNOW not only MSDOS,
but Unix, Xenix and Novell systems as well. We are an authorized SCO
reseller and include basic operating system installation at no additional
charge when SCO XENIX is purchased with a system unit and disk drive.
. Accessible technical staff, with no long delays on hold when you call,
along with prompt and courteous answers to your questions. If you need
to know, we'll tell you. If we DONT have an answer to your question,
we'll get one -- and call you back promptly at our expense. That's part
of our promise of customer satisfaction.
. An in-house service department which takes care of your repair and
service needs, both in and out of warranty, without long delays.
Our customers include Fortune 500 companies in Chicago. We stand behind
(and in front of) every system we have ever sold. Our field failure rate is
one of the lowest in the industry; a 72-hour burn-in of the COMPLETE
ASSEMBLED system by automated software and hardware -- before shipment --
insures your complete satisfaction.
Call us today.
You won't be disappointed.
CALL (312) 566-8910 TODAY TO ARRANGE FOR DELIVERY OF _YOUR_ NEW 80386 SYSTEM!
VISA & Master Card, Personal and Company Checks cheerfully accepted without
"surcharge".
This offer is limited to the continental United States of America.
