: Because those 10% are exactly what I need.


And don't forget, there's already been tens of thousands of applications 
and games written for the II line during its lifetime to meet almost any 
need.  They may not have the most up-to-date, house-rocking features, but 
memory-guzzling frills aren't necessary to enjoy and get alot of use out 
of a piece of software.  Heck, I've even re-discovered some old DOS 3.3 
and even Integer Basic games that are real fun.  Anyone remember 
Warlords, or Odyssey?  :)

Just my 8 bits worth
