I've seen my local stores copy of the new(er) computer catalog, and I'd
suggest that you'd look at the 2500 XL.

It's an AT class w/1Meg ram, 10MHz, 16-Bit VGA, and SmartDrive IDE support.

There should be one available in each computer center, since I've been told
that the Centers are planning an "open house" of sorts on Thursday AM (8th).
