SHOPPING

[JORDAN FOX]

I will have a much better answer for you sometime after COMDEX, which
starts in a couple weeks. For the moment, I can tell you that I'll be
leaning towards a system with the new PCI-bus (VL apparently has some
serious speed and other limitations that will put a damper on future
upgrades; there was also a long-ish article in BYTE or somewhere,
stating that the P24T processor upgrade is fairly bogus, and will surely
disappoint a lot of people if/when they take the plunge). The hard
drive question will need more research. In the past, I've been
generally bullish on Micropolis (and they happen to be a local outfit).
When I got my last H/D, CDC -- later bought out by Seagate -- clearly
stood out from everyone else. Today, the "best" is not so easily
defined. More later.
