- I'd say that executor really needs at least a 486. I've experimented with
- the executor demo on a 386. Tex-edit and Aldus Freehand (2.x?) are both
- way too slow on the 386 to be really useful. It can't even begin to keep
- up with my typing in Tex-edit. Freehand ran slower on the 386 than it did
- on my ancient Mac Plus! However, both of these apps ran much better on a
- 486.
