Why drive so far?  You can get a really nice complete (quality) computer
system here in town at a resonable price.  Best Buy (located on _the_
Atlanta Highway) sells Packard Bell systems that they highly recommend.  It
comes bundled with Windows 95 preinstalled, and lots of other top notch
software.  The systems come Multimedia and Internet ready, too!  The phone
number for the computer dept. is 354-8311, ext 44.
