I would like to get into the IBM world, switching from
my Mac.  A laptop seems great, but I can only afford
a 386sx.  Someone a while back mentioned that more and
more software is only being written for the 386.
Does this include the 386sx?  I know that laptops are
not very expandable, but I don't anticipate needing much
more expansion than it comes with.  However, I don't want
to buy a dog of a system that won't have any software
written for it in a few years.  So, my question stands:
will the 386sx run all software that a true 386 will?

Thanks for putting up with my questions...
