- I don't know about this last part, I think many people are very
- happy with OS/2 on a 386 DX of almost any speed, and some people
- have said they're happy with it on SX's. I'm also sure that a
- 386SLC would run OS/2 well.
-
- I'm kind of a sucker for MultiMedia, though. Maybe they could
- show a neat animation sequence (like those Listerine commercials)
- which doesn't actually have a lot to do with business type stuff.
- Then at the end, they could say something like "This brief
- intermission brought to you by IBM and OS/2." Although it wouldn't
- point out all of OS/2's strong point, it would be effective at
- getting people's attention.
