And what are the minimum system requirements for that!?  How much RAM
does it Need!?

The ST's GEM environment is on ROM chips, so is faster, requires under
200k of RAM (not sure about newer versions).  And doesn't NEED a Hard
Drive to run!!  

The Basic ST, which will run Quite happily on a single-tasking, WIMPS
environment, only has 512k of RAM, a 720k Floppy, and NO Hard-Drive.
It works, and you still have around 350k of RAM free!!

OS/2 and windows are HUGE, and VERY expensive, the ST's operating system
comes built in - you don't have to pay for it!  (Okay, the price of
the chips is included of course but you get the idea 8-)


MS-Doze is the standard on IBM clones, and it is VERY under-productive!
