 I don't know how my timelines are, but, in 93 that sounds like
 it might have been a decent system. Ok, my 486sx20 dates from
 that era. Hmmm... never did have a good internal calendar. Ok,
 now I remember, my oldest daughter was in college, and she had a
 486. So, your's was one step back. I might have gotten my 486
 desktop sometime around then.
