- I run a Gateway 2000 486/33 with no problems. None, that is, if I
- leave the fancy keyboard stuff off. I only tried the keyboard macros
- once (under DOS/Windose) and swore to never touch those keys again.
- I now run OS/2 2.0 happily, thanks to my hands never venturing close
- to the macro keys.
