My God... $1200 bucks for a 4.77 Mhz PC with 2 floopies, 512k of RAM, a
MONOCHROME graphics card and an AMBER monitor...

IS THIS FOR REAL???

Look guys... (no offense intended :-)  $1200 bucks is what I would pay for a
12 Mhz PC-AT with 30 Meg of hard drive space and a CGA card (perhaps the CGA
would cost $200 more).

Try Computer Shopper  (P.S.  386 machines are going for $2500)
