I ordered one of these today.  They say they have immediate shipment.  I
will give a full report on the package price I got when I receive the machine.
This machine will accompany me to Honduras in May when I go down there for
6 months of R&R from Ft. Lee. ;-)

Aha, I know why.  I have a 386 with three disk drives, very fast,
expensive, and with moral character indicated by the fact that she runs
MS-DOS.  Her name is Gallumbits.  Doug Adams fans will understand.
To the rest of you, be assured that most of my co-workers don't
understand the name either.  Anyway, definitely the machine for R&R.

You misunderstand (or perhaps not :-)).  The machine will be used for work
and to play games.  The Temporary Duty trip to Honduras is R&R from Ft. Lee
because I hate being the Executive Officer for a Training Company.  It will
be so nice to get back to the real Army (whatever that is, and Ft. Lee
definitely is not it).  I look forward to having a platoon of real trips and
real missions every day as opposed to the fairy land here at Fortress Lee.
