In a message on 06-15-18 Sean Dennis said to Holger Granholm: Hi Sean, SD> Those of us who like to use modern hardware. You'd be surprised at SD> how quickly you can fill up disks when you're a file hub. Yes I know and with your wellstocked file department I understand that. My system has more or less become a bulletin board as the BBS states. I distribute ANS, ARRL, SRAL and SSA bulletins to scandinavian hams. HG> I have been told that the new versions such as Arca-OS and eComOS can HG> be installed on modern machines. SD> There's a limit to how modern, however. That's why I moved my BBS SD> to Linux. Well, I'm not interested in the latest hardware because OS/2 runs very nicely on semi-old machines. I do however want to install OS/2 on a laptop with dual core processor and maybe also on a stationary PC. I would also like to try OS/2 on a VM under Win10 but that's not so important because of the blue-screen presented to users because of programming errors done by M$. SD> Something fun: someone has written a 16-bit OS/2 shell for Linux. :) I find no need for a 16-bit system. I don't even have so old hardware, except the museum pieces Sinclair ZX-81 and a Triumph-Adler CP/M machine CU AGN, Sam, OH0NC aka Holger ..
