- I have been using OS/2 happily for several months with no serious difficulty.
- Install per instructions, and read carefully what it says about Dual Boot so
- you can retain FAT and DOS, if that is what you want to do. Take the time to
- use the tutorial, snoop around in the Help Index just to get acquainted with it
- and work through the DOS settings when you install NB. You will find them on
- page 2 of the settings menu when you set up the DOS application. With the
- computer you describe you should be able to run OS/2 really well, and it really
- does multi-tasking. I have downloaded files, printed long files, and done some
- thing else all at the same time.
