    Invoicing PC

    Looking at:

    486 SX25- do I need the Turbo button?

    256kb RAM

    Don't need Hard disk or might go for a huge one for backups - 20mb? Never fill that.

    3.5" floppy or 5.25"? For loading programs into memory - Both?

    No Sound card needed - Pacman works with the speaker but this is not a gaming machine remember.

    Token ring card?

    13" Monitor - EGA or CGA? I think you can have too many colours - maybe Black and white?

    Thinking Wordstar and SuperCalc for expenses.

    Had a look at some archived mags for prices and it's coming out at £4k for this rig - worth it?

    Oh for goodness sake - get something decent like an Atari ST. You can get them with 2 or even 4M of memory. That means you have plenty to use as a super fast ramdisk.

      Parody thread?

      Outside of general?

      Surely one of the responsible Mods will deal with this!

              Oops. That's what happens when you use "New Posts" instead of going to the individual forums.

                I thought all the mods were irresponsible?
