For once I'm compelled to agree with you, Robert.  
This here 486 makes DOS apps go like a bat, and if a Windoze app
brings the machine to its knees and only offers cute graphics,
I really don't understand why I should use it.  And I really really
don't understand why I should spend two months' pay on a box that does
nothing more than run Windoze apps at reasonable speeds.  Call me
a conservative, see if I care.
