I recenty assisted a friend (or tried to, anyways) set up a whole bunch of e-machines for his accounting office...

It was an unmitigated disaster and nightmare.

I expected to be 3 or 4 hours, but do to incompatibilities witht eh customer's existing network, the CRAPPY network card they sold him, and the impossible tech-support, I ended up being there for over 8 hours.

Let's start with the BIOS which we COULD NOT turn the PNP options off, so windows 98 just WOULD NOT configure properly. Then, of course, there were the manuals for the network cards (which were for a different manufacturor. Then the CD-rom on one failed. The night mare continued on and on...

We eventually went out and bout a bunch of Dell Dimensions...

My advice? Forget it! Don't, you'll regret it...
