Purchased a used computer from zenith bbs.  What a mistake.  Only file
on 40 meg hard disk (supposed to be 120) is command.com.  Cannot get
through on bbs--locks up after baud rate.  I did get through once and
was asked for user id.  Hell, I've got no idea what my user id is, I
only made one purchase (last one) and I print screened most everything
I tried my usual pws if thats what they mean by id, and got cut off
after 2nd try.  I was going to log in with an alais and then tell the
truth in a message to the sysop.  But I guess they must drop IDs when
they ahve your $.  I just realized my modem was off hook to zenith the
whole time I was composing this message.  Look out for the hidden costs.
Buyer be ware.  You get < what you pay for.
