Constantine, Re: "ouch you got it all wrong. There were some 20Mhz 286 at the time of the 386 debut that kicked the 386-16' arse." I ran applications on plenty of 286 and 386 class machines running from 8MHz all the way to 33MHz, including both that ran at 16MHz. I don't recall ever seeing a 286 running faster than 16MHz, but with side by side comparisons at that speed, I always tried to horde the 386 class machine, since it offered vastly better performance. I ran word processing and spreadsheets on top of Windows 3.1, as well as the occasional DOS game, such as Prince of Persia and Wolfenstien 3D (the original one :-)). Trust me, there was a noticeable difference (both in Windows and DOS). wbmw
