Heather: Where do you live? I've noticed in reasonably large metro areas (like Indy, or even Peoria, for that matter) there are often local vendors who can come real close or even beat mail order. It might be worth a look. Otherwise, I'd sure recommend Gateway. I bought a 486-33 box from 'em last fall, and I've been real happy with it and them. I've had one small problem (small, but disabling – the video card bought the proverbial farm) and the staff handled it quickly and efficiently. My only gripe is the monitor. At 1024×768 it doesn't have the sharpest picture in the world. The 14" Seiko (Trinitron) I use at work is nicer. I've noticed that this "blurriness" can be partially alleviated (in ACAD, anyway) through the judicious adjustment of the color palette. Craig B
