I can't resist a small quibble with Mitch Bradley here...

200, Mitch?  Really?  Funny, I don't seem to be able to find 1.6 Meg x 8 bit
static RAMs, or 1.2 GHz CPUs, at my local suppliers. Certainly I haven't seen
any PCs with 128 Meg of RAM for a few thousand dollars, or 1-Gbyte disk drives
for several hundred (although this last is reportedly close).

Perhaps you meant 20?  :-)
