They buy from co.'s that lease out office systems. All are tested and guarenteed. The monitor has name on it 'Dell' and they also had some 'Gateway' all made by Sony. The big thing going here now is the 17" LCD flat type. Although I prefer the flat tube that Sony makes, Trinitron. Of course big cost diff. My MB, cdrom, floppy drive and case/ps are new. Don't you wish you were here ? I am sure SA has some advantages but hard to beat our weather. Best wishes for the New Year, .... Citizens - have no fear - Linux is here ....
