Here's a question I want answered...Do PS/2 (OS/2) machines have memory
protection?  I don't mean software segments.  I mean hardware protection.
Otherwise, you know what will happen.  The first OS/2 applications may be
quite buggy and may have a tendency to wipe out memory, causing system
alerts (we call them GURUs.)  What would Jerry think about GURUs from the
Gods In Blue?

In a year or so, Amiga may have serious revenge on Mr Pournelle.
