I have a friend that needs to buy an IBM ('286 or better) for his work.
He is an accountant, and will be running a lot of Lotus type stuff.
His wife needs a Mac, since she has to use one at work.  He is eligable
for the Education prices, and they had been looking at a MAC IIcx with a
pc card in it.
My question is:  How good is the A2286, and would it be better if they
got a 2000HD-PC for $25?? with A-max?
I am begging for some responses as I personal think, that getting 3 computers
for half the price of a MAC/ibm system is a better idea, but I would need
some facts to back it up!!!   Is the hardrive support on the A2286 any good?
Please mail me your stories/opinions/advice as soon as you can!
Thanks!
