Am I missing something?  I run Windows 3.0 on a 12 MHz 286 with 2 meg of memory
and a Herc; unbearable slowness is not at all the first thing that comes to
mind.  Okay, waiting for ATM to go through 50 fonts on a 65 ms hard disk is
a bit of a delay, but that's not Windows.  My theory is that those who have
"unbearably slow" Windows machines haven't set them up correctly--wrong
kind of memory, not enough, no cacheing, etc...
