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 :-). +--------------- Given the misattribution above, I will assume you really didn't mean to aim that at me. But I *am* gainfully employed, as a programmer trying to save the *sses of small computer users. (The bank doesn't agree ;-( but I found another financial institution which was willing to grant me the loan, so I now have my 3B. Since it comes with UN*X and the clones come with MessDos, I'm ahead.) -- Brandon S.
