That depends on how much raw materials you want to buy.

That's good, because let me tell you, being 'surprised' by a ram in sheep's clothing is not a pleasant experience.

How many remember this sweet thing? The Tandy5000 MC Pro back in '89? A walloping 20Mhz, VGA Graphic (2MB) with 16MB HD, yours for only $8499. I settled for an IBM Clone since it had 4 more MB capacity. Good ole' PageMaker days.

I doubt it was a Tandy5000, but my first was a TandyXXXX running a version of dos shell. Loved that thing. Couldn't tell you a thing about it though other than it had wordperfect on it and I could play a submarine game on it that I had to switch out the disks for.
