Uhhh. There weren't no .386 stuff when PCs or DOS was invented. The iAPX386 chip didn't come out until several years later. PCs used the 8088 chip which was an 8-bit external bus version of the 8086, which had a 16-bit external bus. Both had 16-bit internal busses.
I rest my case: Mr. Franklin is a perfect candidate for a PC. The rest of us should be on Macs; far less aggravation. And I'm sorry, I can't remember the exact details of crashes that happened five years ago.
And historically, I guess, computers didn't really become common until Dos 2.0 and later. And, BTW, the original PC was a MAC (Apple).
