My brother-in-law is about to take a trip to the orient, and was
thinking about buying an MS-DOS computer off the shelf in Taiwan or Korea and
bringing it back with him.  Does anyone know what technical or
legal issues need to be considered to pull this off?  He's talking
about a name brand machine, not a no-name clone.  Has anyone
on the net actually done this?  Is it worthwhile?
