**dual booted PC since my own was dual booted with OS/2
**Warp and NeXTStep for Intel 3.0.3 ;)
yup ! My last one ( barring testbeds ) was a box that came w/ win3.11
<shudder> and OS/2 w/ a tiny os/2 icon on the windows desktop , which ,
if clicked , offered to get rid of Os/2 for me, and "free up valuable
disk space! " needless to say that didn't lsat any longer than it took
me to locate my Warp disk and do a nice "clean" install .
I liked Os/2 a lot .. and because of the self help that it came to
require ( after a lot of user groups seemed , somehow, to be infiltrated
w/ all those strange "undercover" windows folk) , and the community
around it , made the jump to linux a lot less painfull than it might
have been !
when w2k came out I was required to test it , and it ate my OS/2
partition... and then tha computer died ... coincedence? ( IT probably
died of shame, since it never even had winos/2 installed on it. )
