I remember once being at a SHARE where an IBMer was talking about the OfficeVision product. Someone commented from the audience about the large amount of memory that the thing required. "That's okay", the presenter replied offhandedly, "in a couple of years you'll have 16 megabytes on the planar." A SIXTEEN MEGABYTE PC? IS HE OUT OF HIS MIND? How could you possibly justify having that large a memory on your desktop computer? I walked out of the ballroom, figuring that OfficeVision was a dead duck. (Turns out that it was, but not for the reasons I guessed.) "4 megabytes should be enough for anyone" -- Me. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
