No, she should go with a 486 :-)
Yes, she should get at least a 386, preferably with a floating point
coprocessor. Northgate has 20 MHz systems for around 3K monochrome w/
coprocessor, 68 Meg hard disk and both kinds of floppies ("Country *and*
Western"). A cache would probably help too, but I'm now past my own level
of incompetence.
