I know several people on irc in Russia, they do well in technical programming
jobs to
make $300 a month. and if they have a working 386, they are doing real well.
Strangely enough, they make more money than i do here in the usa, by $300, but
even
i have better puters. I wouldn't sell dos on a 386 short, if you don't need
hires graphics
manipulated quickly, like Internet Exploder, dos will do anything else: email,
web
browsing, networking, sound, etc., including lowres mouseable screens at
respectable
speeds. I was quite happy with my 386DX-40 for years, that was finally the thing
that
got me away from the C64. I'd guess finding a 486 with a 610meg hd would be rare
in
most "3rd world" countries, and some "2nd world" ones as well. Didn't someone
who
was on this list get run off cause he was repeatedly told to buy a better puter
on some
lil island nation, with $75/month income?
