That was no lie.  OS/2 works fine in 4 megs.  I know, I do it.  I used to run
it in 8 megs but I sold 4 to help finance my forthcoming upgrade so I speak
from experience.  Certainly it was a fair bit faster in 8 megs but I still
don't have any problems with it in 4.  All my apps run as stable as ever.
Even at 4 megs, FX Fighter plays better under OS/2 than under DOS.  I have
no complaints but will defintely be happy when I'm back to 8...and when I
can afford 16!

>> 2. You can operate OS/2 pleasantly for several applications on 8 megs.

No exaggeration, again from experience.
