I'm more worried about the schools of this country.  I would hate to have to
guess
how many 286s are still being used in the classrooms in my district.  And I
know that it
sounds ungrateful but I know that lots of folks are going to donate more
286s and 386s to
us, get a tax write off, and feel good about helping out the schools

Please forgive my negativity.
