In '92, for $3000, I purchased a Centris 650, 15' color monitor, and
a Laserwriter NTR. Through upgrades, the Centris is a effectively a
6100 and runs Firefox as a Browser and Office 98. It sits in my
classroom and the kids like using it because it is almost as old as
they are. In three years, I expect that it will still be in my
classroom doing regular service. For laughs the desktop picture is a
photo of Eniac. The Laserwriter is hooked up to my G3 and J700
through ethernet. Not a shabby return for 3 grand. The 386s that
were out then are just junk or long since been consigned to a
landfill. As for the Intel macs, hardware is hardware. I remember
the 65C02 in the Apple II's (which my Centris replaced). With 1 MB
of RAM, my II outperformed the 386's in the lab I was in. As for
Mac, the real edge is Mac OS. But, I think Apple will still keep the
G5's in the high end machines.
