My AT (with hard disk) is now one month old.  To date I have seen no problems
with either the hard disk or the enhanced graphics adaptor (which I only know
how to use in text mode with the monochrome monitor.  The hard disk has
61440 bytes in bad sectors according to chkdsk but still has the advertised
20mb.  Am I out of the woods.  Can the hard disk fail at any time or if it
goes this far is it ok. About 2mb have been written to date.  Does filling
the thing up cause problems?
	Does anyone have any information on the enhanced graphics adaptor?
I was able to use some of the new modes discussed in pc digest to get
the small letters on the screen (supposed to give you 40 lines) but only
25 lines were visible at the top of the screen. What gives?  I don't have
the technical ref. yet or the options and adaptors manual yet.  
	At lease no all ATs die young.
