I am getting ready to trash my old 10 MHz XT clone and buy a new computer.
I have pretty much decided that I like the Touche Computer 33 MHz 386
machine.  Has anyone used this?  It uses a motherboard (AMI I think) which
says it is "486 upgradeable".  Does anyone know what this entails?  I
got the product list and information from them - but it doesn't mention
any details.  I eventually want a 486 machine, but I figure I can buy the
33 MHz 386 machine, and upgrade to a 33 MHz 486 when the prices drop.
So, any comments on this computer would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
