- Nope. He has said himself that there is a big difference
- between his machine and his friends: he has 1/2 the memory.

- Let me give you an OS/2 parallel:
-
- Install OS/2 2.0 on a 16 meg system. Adjust the cache sizes to
- what is proper for a 16 megger (read: OS/2 isn't bright about
- this)--you know, HPFS and the whole deal.
-
- Take this system, back it up, and put it on a 6 megger. The
- system will run so poorly and be so unstable that you'd think
- OS/2 was written by a bunch of monkeys with typewriters.
