From article <1992Apr3.143233.1838@mailhost.aa.cad.slb.com$, by chamber@mailhost.aa.cad.slb.com (Craig Chamberlain): $ *** I am posting this for a friend (Koichi Yoshimura) who does not *** $ *** have access to the net. Please email any responses to me and *** $ *** I will give them to him. Thanks. *** $ $ I recently saw an ad in PC Computing for B&R Computers. $ The ad states that they will mail approximately $19,000 $ worth of computer equipment for $1278.43. The system $ has a 486-33, EISA, w/ 17 inch monitor, color printer, $ 200 MB hard drive, Bernoulli box, 8 MB RAM, and a super $ VGA (800x600). $ $ Has anyone ordered this system and actually received it $ (they say two to six weeks delivery)? $ What is this company's reputation? $ Go ahead and call the 800 number. It is a recording and quite humorous. Appears to be an elaborate April Fools Day joke. It is worth th time to call and listen to the message. -- |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Glen Midkiff (gmidkiff@dsac.dla.mil) | |Phone: (614)-238-9643 @DLA, Systems Automation Center, Columbus, Oh. | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
