Nope..  They had a program called "Disk Wizard"(win3.1) which you used to
create the install diskettes for the pre-installed software.  The only disk
that came with them was one "recovery/boot" diskette.  If you didn't make your
diskettes and something happened, you were screwed..  But then, buying a PB, 
you get what you pay for..
