   For those people who missed the Frequently Asked Questions posting,
or who would like more information on some of its topics than it
provided, I highly recommend the March 1990 BYTE magazine.  It includes:

- a review of 26 different VGA monitors
- an article on expanded memory, including some information on extended
- an article on several archiving utilities
- a history of the 8086 family of processors

   So grab yourself a copy and read through it ... for those people
with the common questions such as "What's the difference between a
80286, 80386SX, and 80386DX" or "What are expanded and extended
memory", there's easily enough information to provide a background
understanding of the topics.
