Subject: Good computer store in L.A.?
Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.org

Precedence: bulk

Does anyone know a good store to buy computers from in L.A.?  My boss's
sister is looking for her first PC, but wants to buy something high-end
so she can run WNT with 4.0 comes out and has no need to upgrade the box
in 6 months.  However, she's no power user, so something fairly
pedestrian would work.

She's got the money, so my boss wants to set her up with a 133/150Mhz
P5, SCSI, multi-media (of course) and a mid-range graphics card/monitor
setup.  I figure we should be able to get something in the mid 3K range.

If anyone could let me know of a store in L.A. that they trust, or give
me a recommendation (or send me a quote Rod *grin*) on some of the
mail-order companies that would be good I'd appreciate it.

What do folks think of the Micron stuff?  Should we wait for the
Triton-II (she'd like to get it running fairly soon).

I'd like to find a not so over-worked 'Rod' in L.A. if possible to do
on-site support.
