I, too, have seen some real problems with PB computers. MANY of 
my clients have either bought theirs at places like Price CLub, 
Circuit City, etc or direct through some promotional offers 
(usually with, believe it or not, gas credit card statement 
offers!!). Well, they are bad, bad, bad. I would not even 
recommend one for a beginning computer user! In one case, when 
we did something as simple as upgrading from Windows 3.0 to 
Windows 3.1, the driver for the sound card no longer worked and 
 their support people simply told me that they no longer 
supported that model and to basically live with the problem! 

As mentioned  also in this thread, watch out for the super 
sounding pricing...it almost always includes a .39 pitch 
monitor!! I thought those were not even being made these days!
