[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Average OS/2 user: needs memory

There has been a lot of discussion that the average user will not use OS/2
because the average user will not need multi-tasking.  Generally, the average
user will not need multi-tasking.   The reason why people will use OS/2 is
because of the MS-DOS's silly memory constraint.  I have seen many Lotus
spreadsheets over 1 MB (Admittedly, must of them should have been done as
a database, but we are not all techies).  EMS works, but it is only a
partial solution.
