[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] PC-Compatibles - Which ones to avoid?

dchavez@closus.enet.dec.com (Dale J. Chavez - Colo Spgs) (10/18/90)

I've just started reading this newsgroup, so I apologize if this has already
been beat to death,  but here goes anyway.

I'm interested in buying a PC-compatible machine and after having looked at all
the clones that are around, I'd like to ask the question:

Which ones should absolutely be avoided?  There are some incredible prices on
some clones, but obviously the quality isn't there in some cases, and I doubt
support after purchase would be there as well.  One of the warehouse clubs in
town sells (I think they're called ) Blue Star machines, but gawd they look
cheap.

What about the Tandy machines?  Does Tandy provide quality service?

Thanks,
Dale
