	My feeling is that 586 will not cut into 486 too much, mostly big 
corporation or people with big bucks are going to buy 586, 486 will still be 
for the mass market. I will say if you can use the computer now, buy it now, th
price is good at the moment. Let's say in 6 months to a yr., the price drop 
another 100 or 200, considered you the price diff. as the rental for using your
computer for 6 to 12 months. NO one can predict exactly how much it's going to
drop (of course the EXPERT will disagree).
