	I couldn't tell you exactly, but I *can* say this much:  It won't be
very cheap, given IBM's history.

	But at the same time, if you got the faster machine, upgrading to
an active-matrix screen or a larger hard drive certainly wouldn't be cheap
either (if even possible, in the case of the screen).

	I'll say this much:  If I were you, I'd go for the 50Mhz (unless you
have some *real* need for the faster processor), because the screen alone
is probably worth it.  Also, I don't know very many people that really *need*
a 540MB hard drive--the 340 should do you just fine, unless you are trying
to carry the entire world with you (you can also use Stacker--that's what I
do, since I *am* trying to carry the entire world with me...) <G!>
