Re: The Future of IBM ..

Maybe you are thinking of the pre-warp OS/2 but OS/2 warp ran like utter crap on 4mb. I remember it well swapping and thrashing itself to death until an eventual hard lock while trying to do much of anything. That said, I *loved* OS/2.

Thanks,
Mark

I think you're off by a release. :-) Remember that Win 3.1 was really
on top of DOS and was limited effectively to about 1MB (plus or minus
your favorite memory manager, video memory space, rom blocks etc.) It
was Windows 95 that required 4MB and OS/2 ran quite well in less. It
certainly took a bit to install that much is true. Especially with OS/2
"Warp" it performed vastly better than Windows 95.
