I don't believe so. I recall it being rather slow until I ran one of
the other executables included. It was a quad-200MHz system with 384MB
of RAM. If only it could have taken advantage of a few more
processors. *grin*

Hehe... never thought of the holodeck. *grin* Used to work with a
135-degree by 85-degree model that was about 18' wide. Only fun we ever
had was making everything move just fast enough to make us dizzy.
