Actually not.  MPE is not meant to be a PC operating system, nor could it
even hold a candle to Windows or MacOS when it comes to doing Personal
Computing tasks.  I just do not see running a flight simulator or MS Office
on MPE.

By the same token, I do not see how a PC or Windows NT is able to do MPE
tasks, such as heads-down, hard-core OLTP.

This is the reason why I wanted a portable MPE system, not to replace my
Windows 95/NT Server notebook, but rather complement it.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .

Think of it, an HP3000 on your desk.  Now, there is one powerful
desktop system!
