Ok, I just pointed out that repairing/upgrading a computer from a well
known company is much more expensive then if you have a *real* computer.
That's why I like to think of IBM computers as the clones. They are
somewhat simular to a real PC, but not exactly since they have diffrent
standards and can't as easily be repared.
Just look at the memmory diffrences between an IBM computer and a normal
one. This (atleast in the past) has been rather big.
I also have an IBM, but I never bought it. I took care of it since it was
otherwise going to the dump (16 "Compis" computers where thrown down. Some
of them was working, but what was I'm going to do with that old computers?)
A Compis was a swedish computer, translated to english it would be "Friend"
and to Spanish "Amiga", but it was a normal PC.
Strange, I got this IBm from my old Computer club that had gotten it from
the school, that had gotten it from the university and now I'm at that
university. It's a small world (or atleast city). :)

I think we all know that now <g>

3 in use)
