I've been using a Magnavox 386 machine now for several months, and like
it.  The monitor is very readable, and the machine is FAST (at least
compared to my old XT-compatible  ;-)).

It seems to be pretty well-built.  It has a metal case, and things seem
to fit together nicely.  The keyboard is a little mushy, but you can
always replace that if you don't like it.

Have fun, Dan  (danr@irie.ais.org)
