Can anyone point me to some discussions on the Net, or articles, comparing the EXTRAs that come with a 486 System. Also, regarding multitasking, is it only possible when running Windows, or does the new version of DOS (4.01) support multitasking. 10 Q --Joel ___ _ __ _ _ __ ( > // / ` // ' ) ) _/_ / __/______/> // /-- // o /--' __. / _ __. /___ , / / (_) (__
