Personal computers have VM. Most PC OS's don't use the VM that they | have which is what the problem is. Even the 286 has the VM capability. | ... | Buy a 386. +--------------- The !@#$%&* bank won't approve me for a loan for a "fire sale" 3B1, and you want me to buy a 386 box for $5000 or so???! (No, I _don't_ have an AT, so an Intel 386 motherboard isn't an option.) Son, not everyone can afford to buy a GoshWhizBang 9000. So we can't run GNU. That's the long and the short of it, and political/religious discussions won't have any effect on it. (sigh) -- Brandon S.
