Well, I tried it on a 386 with an AT hard drive with 4 megs RAM, and that
worked awfully, it didn't boot when I left it overnight! On a PS/2 Model
70 it was better, but still slow. On my Pentium 75 with 16 Megs RAM, it
worked about as well as on the PS/2. I also didn't like OS/2 2.0 very much
because it had a lot of seemingly disjointed 'features' that weren't quite
complete (Templates, for example). I have also briefly seen OS/2 3.0 Warp,
which ran faster, IIRC, but again, I didn't develop a liking for it.
