- There were a couple requests for info on FastMicro computers. I have the
- 386-40 computer that was offered during the summer as their package deal.
- I bought it in person (since my home is close to Tempe, AZ), so I got to
- see the outfit they ran. The store was clean, full service (everything
- from books to chips), and was quite large (resembling CompUSA).
-
- The salespeople and techs were technically knowledgeable about the systems
- they were selling. I had to wait a week for customizing the base 386
- package from 4 to 8 megs RAM. But during the meantime they did a
- thorough technical workout of the system...a form detailing the tests
- they did on it came with the machine when I got it a week later.
-
- I haven't had to take it into service, and I've been using it heavily
- every day under MS Windows for 4.5 months. I don't know how their
- return/repair performance really stacks up.
-
- Hope this helps.
