Well as for running it on a 1 Meg 10 Mhz 286, ITS UNUSABLE!!!  IT is
slow on this configuration.  I get the feeling that the performance
might significantly be improved with more memory.  The reason I beleive
this is that the hard disk activity light is on almost all the time.
Maybe this is because the DLLs can't all fit in memory at the same time.
Other than that is seems really nice, but waiting 2 minutes to switch
between screens is just to slow for me!!  Can somebody comment on using
it on a 386 with some more memory???

Note: I just ran the demo that came with my Windows 3.0 update!
