- My feeling is that 586 will not cut into 486 too much, mostly big
- corporation or people with big bucks are going to buy 586, 486 will still be
- for the mass market. I will say if you can use the computer now, buy it now, th
- price is good at the moment. Let's say in 6 months to a yr., the price drop
- another 100 or 200, considered you the price diff. as the rental for using your
- computer for 6 to 12 months. NO one can predict exactly how much it's going to
- drop (of course the EXPERT will disagree).
