I was (still am) a programmer for IBM midrange systems 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. KN> But I used OS/2 until it was retired, then I bought of copy of KN> EComStation and used it, and now ArcaOS. 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.
