   -> Hi Jesse,
   -> Your offer sounds tempting, although I don't know if it will work
-> with my 286 or not.  That is why I wanted to try a shareware version,
-> because all I have is 640K of ram, and I have heard that it needs 2MB
-> to run properly...if I can find a shareware version and it works on
my -> little 'ol puter, then I will quickly purchase the version you
have.
-> Do you by chance have the manuals or documentation that came with
-> version 1.2?  You can look at see what the MINIMUM system requirements
-> are for me and pass them along, if it looks like it would work on mine
-> then I will purchase it from you.
   -> Thanks.
I can tell you that I have GEOS 1.0 still running on a 286 with 640K
ram, and that works fine (with a Panasonic Dot Matrix Printer,
Monochrome monitor in Hercules Mode, 20 MB hard drive)
It does run faster on my 386SX with 5 MB ram, but only a little.
(that one has EGA monitor, 30 MB hard drive>
I may upgrade someday, but it makes the old computers very useful.
I have to use Windows, so that is on faster 386 & 486 machines I have.
