There were a couple requests for info on FastMicro computers. I have the 386-40 computer that was offered during the summer as their package deal. I bought it in person (since my home is close to Tempe, AZ), so I got to see the outfit they ran. The store was clean, full service (everything from books to chips), and was quite large (resembling CompUSA). The salespeople and techs were technically knowledgeable about the systems they were selling. I had to wait a week for customizing the base 386 package from 4 to 8 megs RAM. But during the meantime they did a thorough technical workout of the system...a form detailing the tests they did on it came with the machine when I got it a week later. I haven't had to take it into service, and I've been using it heavily every day under MS Windows for 4.5 months. I don't know how their return/repair performance really stacks up. Hope this helps. -- Greg "Mockingbird" Franklin "People that are really very weird can get into f67700241@ccit.arizona.edu sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact Keep circulating the tapes. on history." -- Dan Quayle, on Malcolm X "Father yes son, I want to kill you.
