	I had (still have) a 286 at the time, and no intentions of
increasing the 1 meg memory on board. GEOS was superb for someone used
to Atari STs and Amigas.

	But, as things go, I couldn't do everything I needed to in
GEOwrite and I went the Window$ way... adding 4 more Megs to the 286,
and buying Word 2.0.

	Of course, that was a stop-gap effort... just until last April,
when I bought a NeXTstation Color.... and left the '286 to collect a
little mroe dust.

	I love my NeXT, and I like GEOS ... mostly because they share
some inherent ideals ... but one requires mondo memory while the other
doesn't. Given a small and fast laptop, I'd run GEOS... no doubt.
(Unless the Duo Book 210 drops SIGNIFICANTLY in price)

	So, I'm waiting for GEOS 2.0 ... 'cauze Gates' baby is SLOW and
I need somthing like RTF or Word Import/Export under '286, as my old PC
is now a node on my home network.
