GUI

Yeah, sounds true. Although I had to set up the WARP 3 from a tonns of diskettes sometimes back in 94-95, it have managed to run Corel Draw, Word in Windows Emulation mode (well, i am not a pervert but was just testing) and a Watcom C compiler doing a hard work. It all worked decently on 486-33, 16RAM. But the config.sys always made me sad :)

Cheers,
Sergey
