  Okay, assuming he does get at least a 386, what size memory should he get
with it? 2 megs? 4 megs? 8 megs? What about the hard drive? I think 40 megs
should be more than enough for what he plans to do with it.

  How much space (both memory and disk) does Windows 3.x take up?

:If you wanna stick to the IBM name then at least get a PS/2.

  Well, I can tell what's an IBM clone and what isn't, but my friend can't.
That's why I'm just going to recommend something in the IBM line. He can just
go to any store and not worry if what they're buying will work with their
system. (The thing he has right now has "Packard Bell" on the thing, and he
didn't know he could run IBM stuff with it. [Heck, he didn't know the 3.5" disk
drive was a disk drive...])
