I merely refuted that it didn't take until Pentiums for OS/2, a GUI environment, to have an interface 'up to what we had on the 286.' My first OS/2 was a 386SX/16 w/8Mb of RAM. I had been running DesqVIEW on it before OS/2 came around and far preferred the switch to OS/2. Not that DesqVIEW was all that bad, really. :) -- Steve C.
