..That's way too much money. Must be a mistake. The Soft Warehouse has
..the basic Packard Bell 286 for $999 and the Packard Bell 386 for $2195.
..(w/o monitor and hard disk) For more info, 1+800-451-SOFT

Thanks for the feedback, Greg.  I guess I should add that the 
deal DAK is offering includes a 40-meg hard disk, a color monitor 
and quite a bit (no pun originally intended, but now that I think 
about it...) of software.
