--Guys, guys... OS/2 is Certifiably Dead. D-E-D Dead. It was shot thru the heart somewhere back around 1998-99. Trust me, I used to use it up until Win98 came out, and then Linux really started gathering momentum and usability.

--OS/2 config.sys would barf if you put a SPACE before an REM statement. That alone, plus the incredible lack of interest/support from IBM, lack of \[ drivers, applications and development ] put a permanent end to my OS/2 Warp days. I switched to Linux, fooled around a bit with Free- and Open-BSD, purchased Vmware Workstation 3, and never looked back. Smiley Wink IBM doesn't even use it on their MAINFRAME config terminals anymore.

--Yes, it was a decent multitasking OS with some interesting features (it did Win 3.1 better than MS did, arguably - and LOOKIE, I can format a floppy while doing $blah!) but there's a time to Let Go and Mov On...

./. If you have appreciated my response, please remember to apply Helpful/Correct points. TIA
