Wait!  Think Windows 95.  Wait until late 95 and purchace a 90MHz
Pentium machine, 16MB RAM or better, 1GB HD, and Plug&Play
accessory cards.  Have you noted how the pricing of hard drives,
monitors, etc., have been comming down lately.  Although the price
of Pentium mainboards will not drop much further by late 95
the price of Pentium sysems *with* Windows 95 installed shoud be
within reach of high-use users.  Just start saving your money
now.  That's what I'm doing.  I'm not upgrading anything untill
late 95, software or hardware.
