Runs like a dream! KN> Welcome back to the OS/2 World :) With the updates (USB & such) makes it so much better than dealing with floppies & such. The feeling of seeing it run is like wearing your favorite clothes. They fit great & make you feel great. KN> DL> installation to continue.

Unplugged the keyboard/mouse to make sure I wasn't doing something stupid. Wasn't. It just hangs up on USB...but not the DVD. Figured it out...so just need to remember to unplug the USB on the 2nd boot & throw it back in after it goes to loading drivers. KN> I forget what my main system has, but it's way more than enough for KN> OS/2 needs. I think it might be 16gb and I have 8gb ramdrive or maybe KN> it's 8gb with a 4gb ramdrive. Eitherway, the machine is hardly ever KN> sluggish. Except when I open up Firefox, that can take a few more KN> seconds than usual. Even under the VM last week...Firefox was more responsive than on my 10 machine. With 1 GB...it was flying. Haven't tried it after I put in 16 GB from the original 8 GB I had in there. I was impressed...because I never remember Warp running like this back in the day. KN> I have 2 old IBM Thinkpads that I have Arca installed on as backups KN> for my BBS machine. And it runs great on them. They are just basic That's what I was looking for...but when I got this thin client for $50...couldn't afford to pass it up...especially since the seller was doing everything to get rid of them.
