Voice Type Dictation is not just an exception. It is a whopper exception.
I run this OS/2 Warp box with 64Mb and seldom do I go to the swapper
file. When I used VTD, well, different story.
But for the usual day, say, using Lotus, checking the mail, browsing
newsgroups, spinning a tune on the CD and hitting a few www sites, 64Mb is just fine.
I had to take Warp off the TP in order to use their email, much to my chagrin.
