- You were wondering is Windows NT worth of $69 plus few dollars for a jump
- to 16 MB memory ? I'm not sure about the price there, but in here I bought
- first a CD-ROM drive (approximately $800 = FIM4000), then 8MB RAM ($280),
- then a new display adapter (Tseng ET4000) and now I'm purchasing DDK and
- October 1992 PreRelease. I already have a Jupy 1992 PreRelease, but as you
- know, it has some bugs. Anyway, it's worth of it.
