Just so people will have a perspective of what computer prices are in Canada
I offer the following. I consider these 2 machines to be pretty much
identical in capabilities.
Mac Se IBM PS/2 Model 50
Discount
Price $3,997 $3,929
Suggested
Retail $6150 $6063
Memory 1 Meg 1 Meg
Processor 68000 80286
Floppy 1 3.5" 1 3.5"
Hard Drive 20 Meg Internal 20 meg Internal
Monitor 9" BitMap 12" monochrome
with MCGA
Software System & Finder whatever DOS 3.3
HyperCard
The logical conclusion is that you take a quality machine from any of the
biggies and you pay thru the nose.
Personally, I would stay clear of most of the cheap clones. Our experience
in the department has not been that great. Everything is fine until something
breaks then you either can't get it fixed (due usually to bankrupcies) or
you have to pay someone who knows little about the machine to figure it
out and fixit (for a hefty sum of course).
