I, too, have seen some real problems with PB computers. MANY of my clients have either bought theirs at places like Price CLub, Circuit City, etc or direct through some promotional offers (usually with, believe it or not, gas credit card statement offers!!). Well, they are bad, bad, bad. I would not even recommend one for a beginning computer user! In one case, when we did something as simple as upgrading from Windows 3.0 to Windows 3.1, the driver for the sound card no longer worked and their support people simply told me that they no longer supported that model and to basically live with the problem! As mentioned also in this thread, watch out for the super sounding pricing...it almost always includes a .39 pitch monitor!! I thought those were not even being made these days!
