		  - Amazing Facts about Windoze -
	Things You Can Only Learn At MicroSloth Seminars
		  (with not-so-amazing comments)

*  Windoze for Workgroups runs on 286es... with at least 5 megs of RAM.

Dear Microsoft: I have a 286 with 4 SIMM slots.  Right now I have 4 1meg
SIMMs.  I have been trying to find 1.25meg SIMMs to upgrade to 5 megs, 
but I cannot find them.

*  Unfortunately, 286es can't share resources in standard mode.

Dear Microsoft: The other members of my workgroup are very angry with me,
because my computer refuses to tell them anything.  They are accusing me
of being antisocial, and calling me names that aren't at all nice.  I am
going to delete your software and use the disks for martial-arts throwing
weapons.

*  XT's can be Windoze for Workgroups workstations... but they can't run 
   Windoze or share resources.

Dear Microsoft: I have been pondering this for some time, and I find it
most interesting, the concept of a computer that can be used, except that
it can't be.  Perhaps I could interest you in a classic 1965 Mustang, which
runs just fine, except that it doesn't run.

-Shag (Gee I'm glad I run GEOS!)

PS: I didn't go to the seminar, I read an article about it on NewsBytes.

I've got one to add....

* GEOS can interface with Windows for Workgroups.... as long as you run
  Windows in the DOS room!
