   I have owned a 386/16 VGA system for 8 months or so.
   I bought it with my own money (not companies!) and it's
   one of the best (depreciable asset) investments I've made.
   I would buy from Northgate again, only I'd buy a faster
   machine with more memory. (The 20 mhz machine is now cheaper
   than my 16!). I recommend the 16-bit VGA option and a mouse.

   You should consider getting at least 2M RAM, it's cheaper if
   you buy it right off the bat. If you really want to take adv-
   antage of the 386, you'll want run DESQview/386, Windows/386
   or Unix (more than 2M!).

   Disclaimer: No connection with Northgate, just a happy camper.
