Hi Roger,

goes for any time of day, .

RN> Hej, (I forgot the Swedish word for morning, but I'll take a

RN>  I think it's m¢rgon, but am unsure.

Close but not a spike.
It's really very simple, Good morning, in swedish is God morgon.

RN> All you have to do for that is change your upgrade settings; i.e.,
RN> download, but do not install without your okay.  I do that here.

 HG> Yes I know, but I haven't found that setting, even though I have
 HG> tried. 

It seems to me that I may have found that setting sometime, because I
have an icon on the screen, that says 'Windows10 Upgrade Assistant'.
Clicking on that gives a very meagry description of the upgrade, and
a slider that presently is set near the top. That's OK.

RN> What version of Windows are you using on your OS/2 machine?  (-:

See above, but it's not on an OS/2 machine. So far those machines run
only OS/2.

RN> That takes me back.  Too bad they couldn't produce a more affordable
RN> Amiga. That was a heck of a machine, but no one was writing programs
RN> for it.

Since I wasn't interested in 'game machine', I never paid attention to
the price of it, nor compared it to the price of an IBM compatible.

But it can't have been very expensive, because my GS was only schoolboy
when he got it, unless he was sponsored by somebody.

 HG> The reason why nobody wrote programs for it, was that it was
 HG> considered to be only a game machine, as were the earlier
 HG> Commodores.

RN> No matter what it was referred as, any computer with contiguous
RN> memory would have been a success, at least with me, but I'm only one

RN> friend bring his Amiga in for a demo to the rest of those who showed
RN> up and I can tell you I was impressd from the outset.

I never tried the Amiga, but reading the manual impresses me still.

 HG> There were in fact a few (a couple ?) office programs written for
 HG> it, but the Amiga never took off.

RN> I did manage to convert an Amiga BASIC program so it would run on an
RN> IBM compatible.

I started programming in assembler, when I found that Basic wasn't good
enough to manage large and fast programs, on my Sinclair ZX-81.

Then I bought a CP/M machine, and converted earlier made Basic programs
to Turbo Pascal. After switching to an IBM compatible, I did also try
Turbo C, Modula and CA Realizer.

 HG> If it had, even OS/2 would have been superfluos. It was that
 HG> capable. 

RN> Maybe so, but we'll never know.

 HG> Have a nice day,


Ha en bra dag, in swedish,

Holger
