	Hey!  MS-DOS 4.0 is not that great (IBM did it, what do you expect?)
	It is NOT however the closest thing to MultiFinder, Windows/386 works
	VERY well (you need 4M though, so does MF), there is also PC-MOS/386,
	Concurrent DOS, etc. and VP/ix, Simulask for Unix.  Sure you
	need a 386 to run this stuff, but virtually any PC(clone) made
	in the past seven years can have a board put in that has a 16Mhz
	386.  Boards like this can be bought for as little as $500.
	If you want the flexibility of a 32 bit motherboard that may
	be as high $1500.  This type of configuration can run any
	MS-DOS software unlike a Mac IIx (I crashed one of these under both
	MF and UF two dozen times in a quarter as many hours).

	Both architectures have their rough edges, I guess
	I could get an Amiga :-).
