I would just like to add my fiddlesticks as well, I have a 12Mhz AT, with
two (small) hard drives, with an excellent VGA card, with VGA monitor. All
for $NZ2700 + $NZ700 + $NZ900. This is about $US2600 max (exchange rates
are a bit dodgy). All this paid for by a part time job, while I study here
at University.

It really isn't that hard to get a very nice AT based development system. I
would actually like to see more work done on using VGAs as graphics
terminals, with windows etc. :-) Fun for someone.
