While awaiting LW 4.0, I decided to take the plunge and get a Pentium system.
The big issue for me is what OS should I run? OS/2 seems like it might be a
good solution. It multitasks well, has memory protection, runs reasonably
fast and uses less memory than NT. Does anyone use it? Will LW work
with it? Has any of the beta testers compared it to NT? Inquiring minds want
to know. Any thoughts on this would be most helpful.
