Stu, why are you baiting this echo? We have been through that in the
OSDEBATE Echo and the general consensus was that OS/2 2.0 could be made
to install and boot up to a WPS screen with 4 megs ram. 

The general consensus also was that OS/2 2.0 would crawl, not run, in
4 megs ram.

I'm sure, with the recent acquisition of a USR V everything Courier and
a color printer you could have squeezed out an additional few bucks for
WARP or WARP Connect.

I think your post here is a real insult to this echo and to the moderator.

You are really wasting band width here with this post.

Regards,

Stu Davis
