A friend of mine does this. I bring him Atari information, which he appreciates, and then he tells me he can get a 386 for 400 bucks. (Exaggeration; please don't e-mail me.) I was going to write more, but I figured it might start a LOOOONG discussion about 386 systems, which I don't want to hear. There's just no comparison between a 386 and an ST. It's an apple and oranges comparison. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0
