- Well, I can tell what's an IBM clone and what isn't, but my friend can't.
- That's why I'm just going to recommend something in the IBM line. He can just

- system. (The thing he has right now has "Packard Bell" on the thing, and he
- didn't know he could run IBM stuff with it. [Heck, he didn't know the 3.5" disk
- drive was a disk drive...])
