- If your statement was correct, it would not be possible for me to reply.
- (a paradox in itself) This post is coming from a UNIX PC, 40 Mb, 2 Mb RAM.
- About 2 dozen disks contain the UNIX system. This system also has a
- newsfeed of over 100 newsgroups and many other programs snarfed off the net.
- Another UNIX PC that I know of has a 300 Mb / 4 Mb configuration.
