I suspect you are about to make a very common mistake. You've made
some fairly specific decisions about what type of hardware you want, but
you don't even know yet if you want DOS or Unix. You're doing it all
backwards. First, decide what application software you want to run. Then,
decide what operating system will be best to run it under. Then, finally,
decide what hardware to get to run it on.
