GM Daryl,

A couple of years ago I received a laptop with Win10pro installed and
found it usable so I bought a second-hand tower with Win7 and upgraded
it to Win10pro while the upgrade was still free.

I don't regret it since it's a huge step forward since the XPpro I have
on a previous laptop.

It, Win10, isn't free from faults so I couldn't imagine running my BBS
under Windows, so it still runs reliably under OS/2.

HG>As you are using OLX you see these characters , , ,  correctly

If you don't see a's, o's and u's with dots and one a with a ring on top
then your editor/reader doesn't correctly show high ASCII (PC8) chrtrs.


CU L8ER,

Holger
