    When I was an undergrad I bought an IBM pc and had lot's of fun with it.
Now I do most of my work on our 4.2bsd vaxes at school.  I haven't touched my
pc in a year.  I was looking through a recent PC WORLD and saw a 20mB disk for
$450 and started thinking.  I'd like to put my pc to good use but want a nice
environment and good response time.  I've played with PC-IX and think it's
pretty aweful.  Does anyone have a suggestion for a hardware/software upgrade
to my pc which would make a unix hack happy?  Is there a public domain csh for
the pc which would make a good combination with a new harddisk?  Please reply
by mail.  Thanks in advance.
