Damned straight. I installed hundreds of TRS-80 Model 16s with 256k
running the v7 equivalent Xenix. Admittedly, more memory helped a
_lot_, but three users could cheerfully run their RealWorld
bookkeeping software on that system with a 12 Meg hard drive. Yes,
it was text-based -- who the hell needs an accounting system with
graphics except for making pretty pictures for management who can't
read text but can see whether a line of one color is above or below
one of another color.

Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
