I'm finally buying a new computer, well actually, this will be my first
computer besides the one I use at work. Does anyone out there have any
recommendations for what would be a good computer. I'm looking for one
with a lot of power (100 MHz or better) that will last for at least two
years. I am also looking ofr a complete system so I don't have to buy
everything seperatly. Are there any good computer's out there for under
$3000? Are the Aptiva's any good? 
      Please E-Mail me if you have any news that can help me solve this problem.
        Thank You All,
          I'll read your Mail :)

Everybody rags on them pretty bad, but Packard Bell has a lot of systems 
that would fit your requirements. About the only thing that I would be 
concerned and careful about is to check the amount of cache that comes 
with the system. Also, pay attention to the video card. Other than that, 
I would recommend a PB to about anybody.

	Spoken like a true PB public relations man.   And if you aren't
working for them already, I hope your resume is in the mail.  God
knows no one else would recommend that junk.

I guess Joe has a problem with PB...and I agree.  Why would you EVER
want to buy a computer that is sold on the Home Shopping Club, Sears,
or KMART?  
To answer your question without knowing exactly what you want to use
this computer for, I would probably go with a Dell.  The Dell
Dimension P90 is an excellent value...and no I don't work for Dell.
