I actually bought a Gateway with a 486 ... I think 128meg ram or something like that..$4000. Bought on installments..took me 3 years to pay off. It was really obsolete by the time it was paid off. Probably cost me $6000 by the time I was done.

I still have it too :)  Not being used though for many years. It cost so much I may never get rid of it...the tower is huge..makes a nice shelf

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
