- With the recent drop in TT prices, I'm considering purchasing one but
- first I'd like to know what people's experiences are with the TT.
-
- So, for those of you who know, could you answer as many questions
- below as possible and I'll post a summary of the results to this news
- group in a day or so.
-
- Thanks,

- 1 . Do games like Falcon, Flight Simulator, Sim City, etc. run well
- on the TT? Too fast?
-
- 2. Does Calamus and other word processing packages work?
-
- 3. Has Minix been ported over yet?
-
- 4. Is there a Unix like OS for the TT? If so, has anyone gotton X11
- R4 or X11 R5 to compile on a TT?
-
- 5. Are there any UNIXless X servers available for the TT?
