 JW> Not everyone can afford 16 megs RAM.  And, relating this to the topic
 JW> of this echo, you can't really "pirate" RAM, just steal it outright. 
 JW> In addition, I would say that the average existing PC nowadays is a
 JW> 486DX33 w/ 8MB RAM (maybe less).  Anything less than 16MB RAM will
 JW> cause a good deal of swapping, which tends to slow performance.  This
 JW> applies, of course, to both Win95 and OS/2. 
 RW> Maybe they just don't know how to install it.
 JW> You're very naive to cite this as a reason.
And you are VERY naive on many things for someone supposedly to be Tem OS/2.
Average system DX33? In reality, the average system is a DX2-66 or 80 due to
the buying cycle, and foresight. People bought the 'best' computers before 
he
latest wave of 3.3volt CPUs, including the DX4, and P90, P100, and then later
the P75. Also, never shoot down one person's reason without giving another.
