Are you on drugs? That's the dumbest thing I have read in a long time.

Oh baloney.....

Gimme a break.... I was running OS/2  a few years ago. I copied it off
the drive to a CD, and yesterday, on my shiny new 3G Intel MB, I 
copied it back over, and booted it up. Where do you guys get your
information? Don't  need no stinking floppies. Haven't you all learned
how to use Warp yet? I also have the updated ones if I need them.

Don't have it, didn't ask about it, don't want it.

Please find someone else to sell eComstation to. I asked about OS/2 Warp

Give it a rest already. I am NOT going to use eComstation, and the
incessant blather here about it is making sure I NEVER will.

Hardly.... I already own 96% of what eCS is anyway, why should I pay
hundreds more for the same thing, plus a cool installer....?

Don't care about eComstation, but thanks for playing.
