Ok here are the bare fats. I have a budget of ~$3200. I am comparing
a 386 and and an Amiga3000. I am leaning towards a 386.
I would like opinions about:

1) Whether to get a 386 or wait for the price of the 486 to come down.
2) Opinions regarding the best components(i.e. Monitor, video card)
3) Which is the best mail order firm(i.e. cheapest and somewhat reliable)
4) Just general things to watch for ( I am a former amiga 500 owner am 
incredible confused about the ibm world.

Please respond by email. Thanks a few words of advice may help me
to avoid blowing a few thousand bucks.
