A colleague of mine has just bought a 486DX50 with 16M,200IDE,Co-processed
Display,14" 1024X768 monitor for $2600. Add $1200 for CDROM with Sound Blaster
and software, and 17" MOnitor. In september the price may drop by 20% further.
Of course Olivetti is a better supplier then these clones.

I would love to have ace with bsd but cannot affort $6500.
