...more inclined to buy an IBM type system, the HTPC sells them starting at a few hundred dollars more. However, for students willing to forgo the famous three initials, many bargains on IBM act-alikes (so-called clones) can be had around the Square and by mail-order. Both Club Computer and the Coop sell clones, and even better prices can be found through New York and California mail-order houses (check the back pages of computer magazines or talk to a member of the Harvard Computer Society for details...
