- Well, more mem will help, but I have 16 MB and the first kernel fix for 2.0 GA
- and get a 'Memory or disk error' when trying to copy to the WIN-OS2 clipboard
- when it is set to 'PUBLIC'. Setting to 'PRIVATE' is the only way to get a
- copy.

- Sorry to say, but A LOT of clone buyers got exactly what they paid for:
- manufacturers cut every corner possible and now its starting to show in
- flakiness. Sure, os/2 does have "features," but a lot of problems can be
- traced to BIOS, CACHE MEMORY, DISK CONTROLLERS, VIDEO as well.

- Just my $0.02 worth.
