Thanks for the feedback, Greg.  I guess I should add that the 
deal DAK is offering includes a 40-meg hard disk, a color monitor 
and quite a bit (no pun originally intended, but now that I think

That sounds like a good price to me for a 286 in today's market.
It will get lower though, just as soon as you buy yours!
