There _are_ (small) companies that build computers out of good parts and sell
them at a fair price, at least in Denmark. But they are not called IBM or Dell
or whatever. These big companies don't need to do this. Why should they?
They reason I don't use these small companies, is that I don't always agree
exactly in their choice of parts, and also I can _still_ save money by doing it
myself. On the other hand, I have advised people to buy computers at some of
these good stores, when I didn't have the time etc. for building them a
computer. And they have still gotten a much better much cheaper computer than
they would if they had bought Compaq etc.
