You remember that fairly stable OS that could run on much more resource
constrained hardware than NT can.  My OS/2 Notes server was a 486/100 with
32M of RAM and 10G of IDE disk!

I haven't tried the 6.5 client, but with the 5.x client, you install from
that one installer file, then you overwrite the desktop files from the
older client, then you start the new client and configure.  I have no clue
if 6.5 would work the same though...

I've actually already started mentioning this kind of stuff, but it was
more targeted at a bigger tape drive, maybe I can modify my target a bit...
