I don't think disk space or CPU speed is an issue on any machine that can run Xconq. The only serious limitation on machines that people still use today is the poor graphics support in pre-NT versions of Windows (98 etc). Which is a OS problem, not a hardware problem. As for the assumption that computers have a 3-year life-span, that may be true in a corporate environment, but not elsewhere. I believe this has already been discussed on the list. We try to support a fairly broad range of hardware and OS versions, not just the latest stuff. Hans
