    Does anyone out there have any experience with the VEGA
EGA/Hercules/CGA/MDA card?  (Particularly warnings)  Please
e-mail replies (though as this seems to be the cheapest such
card out (mail order $349.95) experiences might be of interest
to net-people).  A ComputerLand salesperson just tried very hard
to sell one of these to me.  In particular, how Hercules compatible
are they? and how good is their documentation?
     Connected query:  has anyone any experience with
47st Computer?  I seem to recall quite a flurry of net-complaints
about some computer mail-order firm a while back.  I take it that
these are different firms.
