Well, I recently got a 386SX machine, and I find that I can use my 1040 the 
same way as I used to use it, and that for some programs which can accept
input from a serial port (the Mark Williams debugger db comes to mind), a
terminal emulator running on the 386SX machine is a useful tool.

This isn't to say that the PC clone doesn't have other uses--just that the
ST has all the utility it used to have.
