Is this discussion STILL going on? There are plenty of reasons why the 
AT configuration is probably the best all-around compromise between
speed, flexibility, COST, ease of maintenance, choice of software,
quality of software, and compatibility with most of what's out there.
You can argue forever, but once you clearly define the uses for your
next computer, if you stay unemotional about it all, you'll choose
at (or if cost's a factor at the 'at' level, xt)...
