- A friend is looking for a cheap new 486. He'd found a deal from
- "Uncle Ralph's" in Berkeley--$1700 for 486/25, 170MB HD, 8MB RAM,
- mouse, windows, 1024x768 monitor. But I then found an ad in PC
- Week from "Advanced Logic Research, Inc." (ALR for short), for a
- 486/25 80MB with 1024x768 monitor, for $1200! This seems like a
- pretty exciting deal, but I told him I'd ask on the nets whether
- ALR is a shoddy company before he goes and orders it. So: anyone
- have an ALR machine? Is it good, or bad? Would you buy another
- from ALR?
