- Several list members are now using NB under OS/2 2.0. I have been
- doing so since May (produced my last major paper using this
- configuration) and am delighted with the results. I am currently
- using NB4/Lingua beta with no problems and looking forward to the
- final release code.

- The machine you inquire about would run OS/2, provided it has
- sufficient free disk space and at least VGA graphics (Hercules will
- *not* work for the primary display). Practically speaking, 6 megs of
- RAM is a minimum, and 8 megs better. With the SX you will be limited
- to 16 megs of RAM (don't laugh, lot's of OS/2-ers use more than 16
- megs), but for a standalone workstation that shouldn't be a problem.
