  Then also look in the new Computer Shopper and compare prices, seems to
me with the limited options of the PS/1 a real 286 is a much better deal or
even a 386SX at the current prices.
  Who the heck advises IBM on marketing issues anyway, must be the same team
from the PCjr, do they ever come out into the real world or what? ;)
