okey, i have a 4 meg Atari STe (GEM OS) i also have a IBM 10 Mhz V30 
Beasty (Or was that V20 ?), and I am going to be upgrading soon.  What 
I want to know is the PC side of things... I *know* the advantages and 
disadvantages of a Atari TT (32 bit 030 beast) and the Atari ATW (Unix 
machine Without a MMU !), but what i don't know is how far say, $10000 
would go in the 386/486 world... and weather the 486 is as realiable 
as Amiga's Sumcheck no-fat disk drive format... i heard it was _VERY_ 
buggy...

I am into: DTP, WP, Non-Midi music, and Games, oh, and i also run a 
bbs, could some kind person please advise me of the strong points of a 
386 or 486 in these areas. (Please no flames (Atari Vs IBM))

Many thanx.
