   Maybe a little OT but prices and available tech were changing quickly.  By   
   the time we got our TI at "a bargain," there were probably other better,   
   and more expensive, choices out there.   
      
   I can say the same thing about my first XT, too.  Pretty sure the 286 was   
   already on the market, and the 386 was not far over the horizon.
