I haven't had any difficulty getting a salesman on the line.  In fact,
that was the easy part.  The hard part is getting the machine.

I wanted a 25 MHz 386 but was told they had a problem getting
motherboards so they only have a kluge solution available right now.
I went ahead and ordered the 20 MHz 386 that you see in the ads, but
had them put the 160 Meg disk with ESDI controller in it.

I ordered on Feb 15th.  On Feb 26th, I got a call and was told that
they would start building the machine, and that the machine would be
shipped on March 1, after the 48 hour burn-in was complete.  They said
they would call on the 1st and confirm that the machine is being
shipped that day.  On March 1st, they called and said they "were 1
week behind in production and it would be another week before they
shipped the machine".  One of the guys at work said it looks like they
had a problem with the hard disk and don't want to tell you about that.

This guy at work ordered the same machine that I did, except that he
got the 60 Meg drive.  His order was 2 days ahead of mine.  His
machine came on March 2.

He is really happy with the machine.  I guess my only gripe is the
delay in getting one of these things once you've placed an order.
