Perhaps the 12 Mhz AT can outperform the VAX 11/780 (how many users
were on it?) for small things, but let's see what it'll do when given
thing like arrays greater than 64k, which is probably THE main reason for
using a 32 bit processor over a 16 bitter. That 80286 will be choking
bits when it hits the 64k segmentations. If someone wanted to do only
small stuff, like word processing, I could see using the must cheaper
AT's, but given a 800 by 800 array to process and I will refuse to do
it on anything smaller than a 32 bitter!
