Yea, but my friend the 386 Turbosport is being discontinued and
plus it's a terrible machine! No VGA, and big and bulky... The
processor only runs at 16 mhz and isn't much faster than
the 286-12mhz machine.. If you've read reviews on the Turbosport
386 you would have found that the machine got very poor ratings...
But the Supersport 286E has gotten very good ratings... So before
you start being so sarcastic why you don't do some checking
first!
