My SO's father (who works for IBM) uses OS/2 1.3.  I asked him about the lower
system requirements of 1.3.  (I have a Dell laptop w/4MB RAM.)  He wasn't too
impressed.  Said that although 2MB is sufficient just to run, loading the DB
and Comm. Managers overloads the system.

At least they're moving in the right direction.
