Remember seeing something about IBM needing beta testers for 2.1 on floppy.
Didn't have a system to run it on...but a ton of new floppies were more than
welcome. Then a few years later...got the red spine of Warp 3 at Wal-Mart &
played around with that. Then someone got me a copy of 4 to play with...but
was more enamored with Windows...so didn't bother & went back to
Windows/Linux.

Tried to use the demo version of ECom...but couldn't come up with the money
to get a copy of it. Now...if I can tweak it & they get some more of the
upgrades done to it...might get another license & run it on my main system.
That's a LONG way away...unless they can adapt ODIN/WINE to run a lot of the
Windows software. At that time...screw 10.
