I like 486's.  386's are a tad slow plus too hard to get any decent parts for.  
A well built 486 is worth keeping.  They work great.

 RJT> That box has a 56k modem and a 10baseT LAN connection.  No "high

Right.  I do but can't afford it either.  Oh well.  No phone line though so I 
tend to use the internet to keep in touch instead.  Probably works out the same 
costwise or perhaps a bit more.  Certainly more useful then a POTs connection.

 RJT> Perhaps at some point I can upgrade the LAN to 100...

Certainly cheap enough these days.  Cabling is probably the largest part of the 
investment but if you already have that covered with the 10 then it isn't that 
much more to upgrade.

Life is good,
Maurice
