As usual, some cogent comments from Keith.  My footnotes:

	"Alpha Computer has been around for a while, but you will pay
	top dollar there."

Alpha will dicker.  I got them to knock $200 of an NEC 4DS monitor last
year, bringing the price down to that of the other sources Keith
mentions.  This may not work for a product that requires dealer
support.

	"Don't mail order from Gateway - I've fixed one of those."

As have I, but I would order from them again.  Gateway starts with good
components, but they sometimes err in assembling them, so the first
thing to do is open the box and fix what they did wrong.  They still
offer excellent prices -- they seem to be the only big vendor that
still includes two floppy drives.  Their one-year warranty really runs
for one year, and they'll pay shipping both ways if you write down
their FedEx account number and charge to it when returning defective
gear.  (Be sure you use their RMA label or they'll reverse the
charges.)

But don't buy their video monitor.  Get their system without a monitor,
then shop around locally.  The brand that Gateway sells isn't great,
you can get previous-generation NEC monitors at places like CostCo, and
you need a local dealer so you can return a problematic monitor,
possibly many times.

	"Don't buy an SX."

I would amend that: don't buy a 386SX.  A 486SX-33 is just as good for
most of us as a 486DX-33, and costs a lot less.

Easily enough accomplished, "oxygenated" fuel or not. Buy a can of _HEET_ or similar 
product at the auto parts store. It's simply alcohol, which will allow the water to mix 
with the gas, thereby allowing it to pass through the system. IF your car needs a tuneup, 
the decreased percentage of flammable fuel (it now has water mixed in) may cause the car to 
stall. OTOH, if your car is in a decent state of tune, you will experience a loss of power
and poorer milage until the water is cleaned out. 

Why do you want the water out? Because, unmixed, it will sink to the bottom of your tank.
When enough of it is there to raise to the outlet point, your car will get *all* water, 
instead of 2 or 3% and will stop immediately. When this occurs at 11 at night halfway 
between Vernonia and Pittsburg the wisdom of adding a "gas dryer" occasionally is 
driven home.

With alcohol being used as the "oxygenating" agent, this is being done for you.

Hey folks, this could really be an earnest interest survey.
But they ask how much you make and then for your address.
What a great way to decide if it's worth breaking into your house. 
They get enough information from that form alone to get a basic idea
about who you are.  

So it's Christmas time- and be careful of giving out too much
information.  

That's my .02 cents.  For what it's worth.

I have the following IBM PC games for sale.  P&H is included in the
price.  All prices are less than I bought them for, but I don't
know their current prices so if it seems unreasonable just make me 
an offer.  All games have full manuals and boxes and some still have
receipts.  I think all games support at least the Adlib if not the
Soundblaster.

Robosport: $35, made for Windows, playable over a LAN, strategy.
MegaTraveller I: $15 Cool game a while back, but a bit dated, RPG.
Battle Island: $20 Nice tactical game.
Ultima V: $20 Good, but I'm of the belief that IV was the best of the series.
Realms: $15 Interesting game with nice graphics, military/strategy.
Shadow Sorcerer: $12 I never played it, dunno if it's any good.
Theatre of War: $35 Stunning 640x480 graphics, great sound.  Strategy.
Solitaires Journey: $35 Great solitaire game (100+ solitaire games).
Siege:  $35 Cool game, lots of troop types.  Strategy.

I'd like to rent a cabin for one or two nights somewhere between Dec 26th and
Jan 3rd. It needs to have sleeping provisions for two adults and two children
and be where there is snow readily available. Somewhere on Mt. Hood would be
my first choice, but I wouldn't rule out anywhere in Oregon. I'm not sure how
much to expect to pay, but would think that something should be available for
less than $100/night. It doesn't need to be fancy. Does anybody out there have
any leads to such a place.

I would advise everyone to stay away from Alpha.  I was warned not to
go to Alpha, but I had them install some upgrade RAM in my PowerBook
anyway, because they were nearby and what can go wrong with a simple
RAM upgrade?  They managed to blow my motherboard.  They blamed it on
"defective RAM" and dumped the whole thing back in my lap.  Feh.

(Fortunately, the PowerBook was still under warranty, and Apple
replaced the motherboard, installed the "defective" RAM, and shipped it
back to me for free.  So the story has a happy ending.  But it could
have been a lot worse.)

I'd forget this one Keith, they don't honor their 30 day return policy. I 
tried to return a Hewlett Packard Deskjet 500C the day after I bought it
because it didn't come with the drivers they said it did (Windows 3.1). They
put me off claiming that the drivers would be available shortly, but now that
I've finally got them, 4 months or so later, and able to use it, I find
that Hewlett Packard tried to make black using all three colors (something
Tektronix learned years ago doesn't work), they don't want to take it back,
although I did get a letter today indicating they would buy it back for 2/3
of what I paid. I'm definitely going to be taking the issue to a 'higher court'
so to speak. 

This also brings up a question about HP, I was assured by the local HP sales
forces that they trained all the stores to point out that the black was not
true black but a mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow. This was supposed to
be pointed out to all potential customers. CompuAdd sure didn't, and as far
as I can tell releasing a product like this was a boo-boo on HP's part. It
only took them about 3 months to release the Deskjet 550C which effectively
obsoletes the 500C although they seem unwilling to admit that that is what
they've done. When I worked in the printer group at Tektronix back in 1984
we knew that you couldn't make a satisfactory black using the three color
inks. It's too hard to make the light absorption curves for the three inks
match up well enough to generate a rich deep black, for that you need good
old carbon black, ala the fourth ink. The established printing industry
has known this for years and years and years. Shame on you HP!!!!!!!

By the way Keith, we've been building PC Clones for about 4 years. All
units get a 72 hour burn in at 40 deg. C and at least 1000 power cycles
to weed out infant failures. We are not the cheapest place in town, but
we do honor our commitments to our customers which is why all advertising
has been word of mouth. Other than the above, most of what you said in
your article I agree with.

Have a Happy Holiday Everyone!

I recently discovered an Australian import shop at Saturday market which
sells didgeridoos and tapes of didgeridoo music.  I think this is a 
fascinating musical instrument and I'd like to hear from anyone around
town who is knows how to play it or is likewise fascinated.
