RE: Twinax Card and Win95

Chris writes in response to Bob Cozzi's statements: "Actually, it doesn't mean
you have to buy a Dell etc., you could buy one 
of the IBM business machines like a PC 365 or PC 350. They don't have 
catchy names like the consumer stuff, but they are just as fast and fun.

Although, with your upset about the Aptiva support I can understand 
looking to another vendor.

One thing I must have missed was where IBM wouldn't support network 
connection. Is that true? I mean, I can understand dropping twinax 
support (upsetting as it is to not have support for something in wide 
use) but it doesn't seem consistent with IBM's direction to not support 
network connections.

When I called PC support on my problem, PC support send back to dealer.  Well my
dealer was a PC magazine.  If you purchase an article from a magazine ie Aptiva
for $1,500, the magazine will be happy to take back the system but they will
only give your a credit and not your 1,500 or what ever $, francs, gilders etc.
PC support could not be any less caring.  I guess IBM PC guys have not learned
anything from Dell, Compact etc.  Now, IBM claims to be the complete solution.
Solution to what?  They sure don't make it known in adv that Aptiva is NOT a
network computer.  The funny thing is that IBM promotes the Aptiva more than any
other PC.
