It really depends where you are. Here in Boston, a largely academic city, 386 computers are very easily available and anyone who wants one can get it. In less populated places this might be more useful. BTW, a lot of 386 machines have very interesting cards and drives. Be sure to raid them before giving them to a user. Word processing is best. I really don't recommend giving computers to schools because the teachers are often incompetent, and the computers will often sit doing nothing. A better solution is to give them to individuals that don't have computers. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
