  7000.00 !!!! IBM selling it for about 2200.00. Where in the heck are
you buying it. By the way I use UNIX with X-windows on a 386 includes
C-development, ftp, uucp, system admin shell, mail (of coarse this is
included with any unix system), dos emulator, a xenix emulator, editing
packages and nfs. All for about 1100.00. This is the unlimited version.
