- Ed, I can buy a 386 DX 25 MHz clone with an 85 meg HD, 8 expansion slots,
- a 3.5" 1.4 meg drive, a 5.25" 1.2 meg drive, and a SVGA monitor for
- $799.
-
- Oh, and it would include 2 Megs.
-
- Along with Windows and the choice of THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of
- software titles.
-
- There are also MANY developers working on new software for it, not
- just a handful. Anyone will fix it if it breaks. And there
- is no need for me to beg the company for support.,
