Hi there, I don't follow this group regularly, so forgive me if this is a re-hash of an old discussion. I was just checking "Computer Shopper" (Sept. 90, pp 644-647) and there is an ad. by a company called "TREDEX" (based in CA) and, ... you guessed right, it sounds too good to be true (at least to me). (in summary: 386-20MHz, 4 MB RAM, 40 MB hard, 3.5", VGA 14" monitor and adapter, RAM cache controller, ext. keyboard, 1 serial/1 parallel port, mouse, DOS 4.01 -- for $1600) Also on the next page, a scanner (flat bed, 300 dpi, 16 grey shades, interface card and cable, OCR Plus -- for $600). The basic question: do any of you have experience dealing with this company ? Any advice/horror stories ... ? Thanks for the help, --Raja -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raja Daoud raja@twilight.osc.edu Trollius Operating System (614) 292-4123 Research Computing The Ohio State University Trollius Factory Outlet hand made - fine tailoring
