Why are you so full of double standards?

Macintosh people are typically thrilled with the fact that a nine
year old Macintosh Plus with a 68000 can run anything out there,
yet a 386 is merely a toy?  Please explain why.

A 386 can actually get quite a bit done, FYI.  Many people have
extra ones which are being used as UUCP servers and so forth for
their normal machines, for example, and many people use them for
the normal machines.  Heck, my only machine until just a year ago
was a 386SX-16.  HJ Lu, the developer for the Linux libraries and
the Linux gcc port, is (unless he has upgraded in the last few
months) using as 386SX-16.  Etc.

Unless you're a blind pawn of the computer hardware industry, you
will know that one does NOT have to upgrade every couple of years
to get real work done.  And $50 is a real bargain for an old
machine which works great.  Macintosh Plusses, which do not even
have the CPU power of the 386, run for $200 or so used.  What's
the better deal?
