	Last Friday I was so worried about getting the price correct,
that I got the company wrong.  It is Cheetah that is coming out with a
486 for $4995 and ALR with a 386 for under $2000.  (Please note that
this is a 80386, not a SX.)

	Would someone please let me while Intel is still making the
8086 and the 80286?  There will always be DOS as long as these machines
are still being made.  I guess IBM has the same problem Apple has:  make
the "new" technology so expensive, people will have to buy the old stuff
under a new hood, ie- PS/2 20,30,50,50Z,60 and the new Apple IIe, IIc.

	Is there no end?

	Oh, by the way, Northgate does sell a 286 for under $2000 (20
Mhz I believe) and 386 for under $3000.  There is no way that the 386SX
will survive as long as the clone makes pride themselves on making
inexpensive full 386 machines.  IBM and Compaq are not the on fish in
the sea.

	Boy I hope I got it right this time.
