Summary: cheapskates can '386, too!

So buy a clone with a 386 motherboard. I've seen 386 clones down to
$2400 or less in the pages of Computer Shopper, using the Intel
motherboard. If I was a gainfully employed person, I'd have no trouble
getting one (alas, I'm so stereotypical "poor college student" that
it's pathetic). Oops, I forgot, you work for government, so you must
not be gainfully employed :-).
