Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 8 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.
