    I played with it the other day at work, and noticed that the system takes 
up a mere 8 mb on your hard drive.  In addition, fully installed the thing 
leaves 192k free in your primary 640k.  Not so hot eh?  Another gripe is that 
it is not compatible with a significant amount of hardware out there for the 
ibm world.  My guess is that system 7 will be well worth the wait, and will 
make windows look as archaic as ms-dos.  I haven't really fooled around 
extensively with windows yet, but it doesn't seem all that great, me being used
to the mac interface.  It is, however, a considerable improvement over the old 
windows 286...
