We decided to delete Oberon-M from our server because it did not get up to
our expectations. Anyway, it is much better to have a look at both the Oberon
language and the system. If you have access to a Mac II, a Sun SPARC or a
DEC DecStation (or just an X-terminal to it), have a look at these systems.

There are also ports to the IBM RS/6000 and the PC under works. The PC version
will certainly require a 386 processor. I cannot comment on the exact
environment it will run under.
