Hi,
 
We're getting PC upgrades here at work.   There are two categories:
regular (non-PC literate) people are getting a PS/2 Model 77 486DX2 33-66,
8M, 212M HD.   So called "high-end" users, myself included, are getting a 
PS/2 Model 95 486-DX2 25-50 (slower), 8M, 400M HD.   Eariler doc I saw said 
that the 95 would be upgradable to the P5 when available, but I'm unable to
find that now.   Other than the larger HD, which is available on the 77's
and the additional slots/bays which I doubt we'll ever get anything to
use them for, I can't help feeling that us high-end user's are getting
the shaft.   Opinions?
