   Tubular Trombone to All   
   Back (Again) A few questions

   Hi   
      
   Great to see the NG is going well. Ages ago I had some questions,   
   tried out BeOs loved it (thanks for the help back then) but couldn't   
   get it to work again on the upgraded computers or the newer ones I   
   bought. :-(   
      
   Back then it looked like BeOs was near its end. Came back to see if   
   anything was happening and surprise you guys (or some amongst you) are   
   hard at it. :-)   
      
   So sorry about the questions (all over again) but here they are (and   
   yep they are new ones):   
      
   1. Is the BeOS Max Edition 2.1 BeOs 5 (with extra drivers)?   
      
   2. Does the above version have the same limitations the PE edition had   
   (I forgot if it was 400 or 500 MB) and is it as easy to install as the   
   earlier version?   
      
   3. Will it run on the following systems:   
      
   a. Intel 3.1 Gig (processor)   
       128 MB video card   
       80 & 120 Gig Hard Drives   
       DVD & CD R/W Burners   
      1.5 Gig Ram   
      
   (One computer running Win XP Pro)   
      
   b. Intel 2.4 Gig (processor)   
       64 MB Video Card   
       60 Gig Hard drive   
       DVD & CD R/W Burners   
       5112 MB Ram   
      
   (Two computers both running Win XP Home Edition)   
      
   c. Intel 750 & 850 Mhz   
      64 MB video card   
       CD R/W Burners   
      40 & 60 Gig Hard Drives   
       5112 MB Ram   
      
   (Two computers both running Win 98)   
      
   Sorry about all the questions but I really had to know; I tolerated   
   Win98 but absolutely hate XP :-(   
      
   Thanks again ... with fingers crossed that it will work on the above   
   systems.
