PLAN181: Computer Specification

{Some overly idealistic goals, plans and objectives I wrote up in the early 1990's, and otherwise based on ideas I had in the 1980's and possibly as far back as the 1970's.}

OPTIONS FOR SPECIFICATION OF COMPUTER (Early 1990's)
PROCESSOR 386 or 386SX
  • 20MHz
  • 25MHz
  • 33MHz
MEMORY 
  • 2 Mb RAM
  • 4 Mb RAM
  • 8 Mb RAM

Not sure when I wrote this specification. Possibly wrote as text file on old Microbee computer in a book, before getting computer that could run Quattro Pro for windows version 1. This was extracted from Qpro file, and the computer I was running QPro on was faster [40 MHz] than the desired specification given above.
