- This could make for an interesting and fun thread...

- There appears to be handwriting on the wall, unfortunately we're not
- into the future yet, so we can't rely on hindsight :-)

- Compaq and IBM have suddenly made a big 90 deg. turn. In fact, I was
- about to buy Dell (EISA with all the bells and whistles), then found
- the IBM model 77 (at educational discount it's a better deal than the
- Dell). I never thought I'd see the day! There's a change going on
- and that handwriting says the smaller players will die out. My
- biggest concern is buying from a company that will be around the next
- 5 years (all other considerations being about equal). I think a lot
- of people are seeing things the same way and this is definite trouble
- for the smaller clones!
