486? Ha! I remember getting my hands on a TP copy in late 80s early 90s, first version I had fit on a 720k floppy but the second one did not (1.44), and I remember trimming it down to fit 720k because I had only a 640kiB 80c88 with two 3.5" 720k drives and no hard disk. It was plenty fast already!
Then I got a 1MiB 286 Goupil G5 (with something like 20MiB HDD, I remember thinking that thing is so huge how am I ever going to fill that, which I never did) and a colour CRT, TP felt so blink and you miss it fast on that machine already, it must have been lightspeed on a 486!
I for the life of me can't remember if aforementioned versions were (resp.) 4.0 and 5.0 or 5.0 and 6.0 though. My hunch is on the latter but I'm really not sure. Last one I used was TP 7.something much later (early '00s)
