...**THE TRUE PC STORY**
Story: Way way back in the year 1999 just before the internet boom my dad got a job which required him to own a PC the company being greedy wouldn’t issue him with one so we had to get one for ourselves, so my dad and I toddled of to the late Tempo ( now taken over by PC World ) to see the range.
Love at first sight: The IBMAptiva caught our eyes, with impressive specifications ( for the time ! ) and the new brilliant Windows Operating System Windows 98. My dad was familiar with IBM PCs and soon we were driving home with a shiny well grey PC in the back of our F reg Passat ( old for the time :P ).
Connecting it up: Even now I still remember it well after getting the enormous boxes into the house we tore them open ! It was pretty tricky to set up as we had never had a PC...

...I was lucky enough to ckoose an Aptiva as my home PC around four years ago. I say lucky because I had considered various other machines, but went for the Aptiva in the end.

I also upgraded the processor recently...

...IBM provide a 30day up and running facility to get you started.
Very useful as the modem was not configured from factory, for use in UK.
However, as an experienced user of PCs I found most of the problems started after this period.
My Hard Drive has been re-formatted (taking about 30 minutes) twice, but has been operating efficiently for abut 6 months.
Hardware support is excellent, covered by a 12 month warranty.
Manuals are basic, but a comprehensive windows-based help manual is available. Lifetime IBM on line support for as long you own the PC....
