Reading an month old press release from IBM is the following on their
visionary product for the office worker of tomorrow:  OfficeVision/2.

Running under OS/2 Extended Edition v1.2 this little gem does mail, 
address book, rolodex, word processing, and "talks to mainframes".

A simple requestor [client] station REQUIRES a MINIMUM of *7* MEGABYTES 
of RAM!  Disk requirements are not stated.  A central server workstation 
requires a mere *10* megabytes of RAM.

Cost is $750 (plus IBM list price of $3495 for 4 meg card)
Buy two, they're cheap!  :-)

(How was that that UNIX is piggy on memory?)
