Hi Grant - After my Amiga, my first x86 series was an XT-Clone. A Packard
Bell 4/8Mhz (Turbo-Wow!) CGA system. That was my first experience with x-86
architecture. I personally consider those models too - "un-uniform" to
be fun to use. I know I may be in the minority, but you had to fight to
get them to do what you wanted. So for me the 386 is a perfect
conformist(?) system...

Agreed! I love seeing everyone's ideas in this forum. It's a lot of fun.

Thanks,

Don
