Having spent the holidays working two jobs, I will finally be
able to put my tired--though certainly dependable--8086 (no,
that's NOT a typo) out to pasture.

I'm ordering a Gateway 25mhz 486sx, w/ 4mb memory, 170 mb Caviar
hard drive, IDE local bus hard drive controller, SVGA w/ 1 mb and
a Western Digital graphics accelerator chip, 128-key programmable
keyboard, mouse, DOS 5.0, Windows 3.1, Microsoft Works, and a set
of utilities.  I can't afford my monitor, but my Princeton ultrasync
has been behaving itself lately.

Total price, including shipping:  $1206.

I called a lot of different places, but the only places that could
beat that price were outfits I know nothing about, or know too much
about (i.e., Fast Micro).  One of my best friends recently got the
same system (but with the crystalscan 15" monitor, damn him), and
vouches for the quality of the machine.

I am one happy camper.
