Re: Which computer to buy ?

My advice, were you in the US, follows. However, I have no idea if similar used-computer prices exist where you are. So you'll have to judge for yourself. 1: get a cheap 88, 86, 286, or 386 system (say, $20-40) (stay away from IBM, though, due to hardware incompatibilities later). 2. Buy a big
