- Well, MAYBE if your operating system didn't require 8 megabytes + a swap file
- just to run itself (and not very well at that) it wouldn't be a problem.
- Also, unlike the Pea Sea, many Mac programs are better written and don't take
- 3 meg for simple tasks. And just how many times do you run two of the same
- thing at once? Sounds like poor planning and a split personality to me.

- So??? Mickeysofts "inovations" have been cheap rip-offs from other operating
- systems. Mickeysoft plays the market like they invented it, and the suckers,
- er, I mean customers, actually believe windows95 is a "revolution". There is
- nothing revolutionary about it. I once discovered that the people that
- actually thought Windows 3.x was good were the same people that had never
- used any other GUI. It's too bad only people with other computers, or even a
- Pea Sea platform running a real OS know the truth.
