IBM, Back in Black

IBM has long been the leading name in PC technology, familiar world wide as a major computing force. In recent years, though, they've taken a beating from other leading competitors such as Dell and Compaq. With so much fierce competition, one might think that the mighty Goliath of the computing industry would fall. Instead, they've counted up their advantages and put together a line of products that could run the gambit on the consumer computing market.

IBM's Aptiva line is a sleek looking run of computers, designed to entice consumers with more "quality" tastes. Though offered in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, the most popular Aptiva's seem to be the all black systems. A cool looking black monitor, CPU, keyboard and mouse combined with sharp looking black speakers can give your desk a touch of high tech class.

Best of all, it's priced at under $1000 (excluding monitor). For more information on Aptiva, you can surf over to www.ibm.com, or visit any computer retailer.
