I have a 030 cube at home that I bought from Businessland in their first demo sales. No missing parts, nothing wrong with it. The machine is in perfect conditions and I have to admit that it looks like a new machine instead of a demo. So, I decided to buy another cube for my office (work) in this lattest demo sale. The serial port was broken, the OD drive turns off and on while I am using the machine. The Monitor just broke and it does not light up ( I can't see a thing!). I only used this machine for ONE day. I DONT care about the T-shirt, the tool to open the machine or the documentation. I was just expecting a machine that WORKS. I don't think there is ANY satisfactory explanation of why they shipped a machine that was under those conditions. Today I took it to BusinessLand (here in Chicago) to repair. Lets see how long it takes. Thought you would like to know about this ... Richard Dib AT&T BL PS I do not have any conficts with Norm. I know that it is not his fault. It is the fault of the person that inspected this machine and said that it was in good conditions.
