I can't believe it. An honest to God OS/2 guru on this list. Where the heck were you 5 years ago when I couldn't get Warp Server to install! (hung on the 3rd diskette IIRC). :-) IBM told me I that wasn't a bug so if I wanted to learn how to install I had to buy a service contract. Actually I really ought to be thankful since that was the moment I said "Yeah right!" and decided to take a look at Linux. BTW, I still have OS/2 running on half a dozen boxes (legacy apps and all). I actually still like OS/2 and have never forgiven IBM for screwing up the best 32 bit OS of it's time.
I just had to jump in here! I used to beta test OS/2. :) Fond memories, along with Fidonet, D'Bridge, Maximus, door games and accessing the inet via a vax at 300 baud. Ha!... the good old days. (inet=before any browsers) Dana
