I just thought the Mac world might be interested in the following, especially
in light of the debate about Hypercard/Multifinder (standard system software)
hardware requirements.

I just went to an IBM seminar on OS/2 (my boss made me :-()
*MINUMUM* requirements to *RUN* OS/2 standard edition are:
	2MB memory	>15MB disk
*MINIMUM* requirements to run OS/2 extended edition (LAN support etc.) are:
	3MB memory	>15MB disk.
Another source suggests that 6MB memory is needed for decent performance
from extended edition.

By the way Apple, is Multifinder going to page sometime in the future? (As
a SWITCHABLE OPTION, PLEASE!)
