- And what will your mode be when that 486/50 board you pay for which
- you $800 today is selling for $300 in 10 months. Buy a $1200 P5
- board?
- Computers are not an investment, they are a hole into which you though
- money. Whatever you by today, something better will be out at the
- same price soon enough.
-
- If you felt that the 3000T was worth $3600 dollars when you bought it
- and it still suits your needs...
