- I don't agree. You get what you pay for. What's different with the
- ValuePoint stuff is that IBM is selling some lesser quality of display
- monitors bundled with the systems but you can get their better ones if you
- are willing to pay more. The computer itself is probably the best quality
- product (not features) that you are likely to find. If you want to pay
- cheap prices you will get lesser features with IBM but you certainly will
- not get lesser quality.
