<<My question is why would any corporation buy PC's that might become totally obsolete in 12 months?? To save a few bucks now.....sounds penny wise and pound foolish to me>>

Because the 486 to P-120 upgrade did not speed up their secratary.

Yes there are people that do complex things with their PC's, But the most used software is WP and E-Mail, and you don't need more that a
P-166 non MMX. It will be quite some time if ever that MMX will be needed in a typical office enviroment.
