The machine that i still use at home is a clone 286 machine. I get a
fiendish sort of glee when i talk to people about xywrite and they say that
word does everything that xywrite does..... I ask them if word, and all that
functionality will run on a '286 machine, w/640K memory and a 20Mb hard
drive. :)

It works, no too slow, and i can still do more than most people with a
Pentium and Word!

fwiw,


Russ
