This machine will be doing a considerable amount of number crunching/disk accessing etc. Any recommendations? She doesn't want to purchase *too* much hardware. However, she's wanting fast, not necessarily color, 40meg, 1-360k floppy and 1-1.44meg 3.5 floppy. She's looking at in the future going to a network. SHould she go with a 386? -- . | Joey Paul (205) 730-4129 . . "Ye must be born again." | uunet!ingr!dj4104!paulj (UUCP) . . | dj4104!paulj@ingr.com (INTERNET).
