Actually, I've run Windows 3.0 with SoftPC/AT/EGA already on my IIci.  Even
on this platform, it is a VERY slow puppy.  Supprisingly the IBM people who
run Windows on a 286 platform get *approximately* the same response.  It
would seem that Windows really needs a 386-25mhz platform before a Mac person
would find it useable (if ever ;->).

Truth or fiction:  Most people who bought Windows 3.0 are not currently using
                   it because it is a slow memory pig?
