Well, if you have time, poke around for the back issue on-line.  I
distinctly remember the Rainbow having this issue as well, but those
who should be handing out refunds rather than accepting tuition
dollars are putting up an argument.

I too remember the $2000 20MB hard drive option...and you could buy
the same Segate drive via Computer Shopper, brand new for < $350
shipped to your door.  Most would even include a set of cables!
