Actually it's more like a few months at most.  I'm waiting for a few
drivers, and making certain that everything on my hard drive, hardware

Believe me it won't.  If my system had been OS/2able when it first came
out I would have gone than.  It took this long to get a system that
would run it.  I just want to make certain that the major foundation is
solid.

My long term goal is to get a system to run Linux with VMware & run ALL
the OSes.  A few years down the road though.  Mucho hardware there.  And
wsnt Linux to be a little more user friendly.

But the OS/2 is coming together & I'm certain that by the new year I'll
be requesting the CD.

Soon,

Linda
