I vaguely remember ads that sounded like that but I don’t know anything about Wells America.

do you remember and can you comment on Wells America computers?

their advertisements were in Byte Magazine and PC Magazine and Computer Shopper.

many of their ads were goodbye IBM thanks for the memories.

Apparently they sold PC AT clones. I tried google search but found nothing.

I seriously considered buying Wells America PC AT clone

I suggested to my mother to buy mail order but she refused so we got a Tandy 1000 at Radio Shack instead.
