Loaded it up last night - it's a real stretch running win98 in an X 
window for my poor p166 with 64megs.  Actually, I have been quite suprised at
how well it is working considering they recommend a min pII266 with 96megs.
Its on the box I will be being to the meeting tomorrow.

For those not familiar with the product, it is currently a free with
registration beta good for 30days with renewals possible. It is my understanding
the finished product will be commercial.
