One of the guys in the office recently came across a form letter
advertising $1285 FatMacs and $1625 FatMacs with an ImageWriter.  The
outfit is doing form letters from a strange address:

		RANDOM COMPUTERS INC.  
		1626 S. Orchard #310 
		BOISE, IDAHO  83705 
		(208) 322 3433

  -  has anyone else gotten this particular form letter?

  -  has anyone had any experience with this outfit?

  -  prices seem a little on the low side, even for the "grey market",
     are these guys on the level?

I can summarize any responses I collect on this topic of Random
Computers.  Also can post the text of the form letter if anyone's
interested.
