These guys have it right. For the longest time my only computer was a
386x16 with a whopping 4megs of ram and a 50meg HDD. It was too slow
running even win 3.10 and then 3.11. If there had been a small, simple,
and fairly speedy DOS/WINDOWS/GUI/whatever, it would have been perfect.
Also, I know quite a few people who will NOT be able to upgrade for god
knows how long, and something like this would be perfect. Now, I am very
basic beginning programmer, so can't do anything, but if you guys out
there who are pretty good hacks can pull this off, well, you'll be
miniature little heroes for long time (sorta like DJ). Well, rambled on
enough.
