A few months ago, my daughter bought a P133, 32 Mb, 800 Mb from Austin 
Computers for $600, so that's the sort of thing the neighbour should be 
looking for at that price. I doubt whether they have another; it was the 
secretary's.

486s with 16 Mbytes or more of RAM are likely to be scarce; 4 Mbytes was 
the common ammount.
