I have every version from Warp 4 back to 2.1. I used to have 2.0, which I eventually tossed and 1.3, which I sold to someone, but never used. I also still have many CDs from when I worked at IBM Canada, where I did 3rd level OS/2 support. I used OS/2 on my home systems for about 10 years. Between OS/2 and Linux, I always feel as though I'm working with one hand tied behind my back, when I have to use Windows.
I bought my first copy of 2.1 with windows(blue spine) in 1992. It was so awesome. Especially after fighting with Desqview. I used it up till 3.0. I never had a copy of 4.0 until recently. I used my warp3 for a long time, went to win98, and then founf SuSE 5.3 in 99.
I bought 2.0, but did little more than fiddle with it, finding it easier to stick with DesqView. I did the same with 2.10, 2.11 & Warp 3. I bought Warp 4 too, but eventually decided to switch to it when I decided it was time for me to have internet. Don't bother trying to install from an original Warp 3 or 4 CD onto anything with a HD bigger than about 2G or 8G (I don't remember which was the limit back then). With existing releases of eComStation CDs, you'll need to restrain yourself to installing on pre-SATA systems. However, current purchase of the most recent release of eComStation entitles one to a license for the next version (2.0) whenever it gets released. In the mean time, for one year from purchase of the current version one is entitled to download and install the 2.0 release candidates made available prior to the lapse of 12 months from purchase, which will install to more modern hardware than not. The main holdup to getting 2.0 released has of late been ACPI debugging. Owners of Warp 4 licenses are entitled to discount on eComStation purchase.

Current uptime is 26 days, 10+ hours. The original installation was several motherboards and years ago. eCS upgrades from motherboard to motherboard were by simple HD transference, or simple HD cloning from PATA to PATA or PATA to SATA. I find that installation method simpler than installing from scratch and manually configuring the WPS, which is not configurable via plain text files. The WPS lives in INI files and EAs, and so does not lend itself to command line or text editor tinkering. -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."
