- I recently purchased a Gateway 486-33 with 16MB ram and 200 Mb harddrive, and
- I've found that my only complaint with OS/2 running on this system is that
- my Borland C++ for DOS is *strangely and pitifully* slow. Other than that,
- it is awesome. It installed the first time and the resolution of the ATI
- ultra is reflected in its name (ultra cool).
-
- Hope this helps.

- ps. If anyone has had similar problems with BC++ 3.0 PLEASE PLEASE let me
- in on the trick to fixing the problem. Slow compilers require brain surgery
- to endure (booting to DOS because its quicker!!!!!)

- MS-DOS is an interrupt handler with a brain-dead interface.
- Windows is a pathetic attempt at.....????
- OS/2 is the future....that's here right now!
