- Sure. Whatever. His comments made it look otherwise. Justify how he

- It doesnt run well at all in 8 megs. If you've run it, you SHOULD know
- that. He is definitly wrong saying one would want 8 megs for NT.
- There is nothing wrong with my comparisons when he says they both
- perform APPROXIMATLY the same in 8 megs. I say hes wrong.

- Well, he was wrong in this article. And I dont see how my viewpoing is
- narrow by disagreeing that NT runs well in 8 megs, or at least runs
- as fast as OS/2 does in 8 megs. Your narrow viewpoint comment applies to
- both you and petzhold. I dont share your visions of NT (ie, runs well
- in 8 megs), so therefore you discredit me.
