I just got a Scepter 286 with 40meg and vga monochrome.
I've got a few questions and did not know where else to 
post them.

I'm more used to unix than dos, but am not sure if I need/want
to go to unix.  I currently have Borland's Turbo Pascal 5.5,
Turbo C++, and Turbo Debugger and Tools.  Would these (among 
others) programs have a problem away from the MSDOS environment?

With 40 meg, do I really need unix?

And if so, what unix or unix-clone should I get?  I keep seeing
ads for Coherent in COMPUTER SHOPPER.  The price is certainly
attractive enough.  Any comments? 

Thanks,

 Turbo lets you do many things you wont get away with on Unix.
 Just how cheap in Coherent ?
