Yep, my computer is a sotec. I bought it when 500mhz P3s were first
introduced. It cost about 70,000 yen. I was down at the local Yamada denki a
few days ago and saw they have a P4 tower sans monitor for 50,000. It has
all the goodies like oodles of ram, disk space, DVD player, CDRW...

The nicest thing about a sotec is that you hope it blows up so your wife
will let you buy the newest model.
