Hey HERBERT ROSENAU, what's up?

HERBERT ROSENAU was heard grumbling this to ALBERT SODYL about OS/2 2.1 IS
dead.!

 HR>>> Go to ebay.com. There you can find OS/2 WARP 4 for less than $50.

 AS>> I was thinking of getting the Warp 3 red box.... and this website
 AS>> you're talkign about, is that used or not?  I'd rather prefer not
 AS>> used.

 HR> It's used. It is an auction side. You my find some interesting things -
 HR> and
 HR> OS/2 WARP is there highly interesting!

Hmm... I was looking on there, but I could only find Warp 3, never saw Warp
4 on there :(

 HR> To become internet connectivity you have to buy at least WARP 3 Conncet.
 HR> Because WARP 3 red/blue has only a stripped tcp/ip 2.0 - and will never
 HR> WARP Connect and WARP 4 has tcp/ip 4.0 and there are Fixpacks to make it

Hmm, my choice was the latest version of OS/2, right now Warp 4, you know
if there'll be any other ones out later on?

 HR> So if you'll have actual Fixpacks, modern tcp/ip with fixes..... you
 HR> would buy
 HR> a (used) OS/2 WARP 4.

 AS>> And I don't have a CD rom drive either.

 HR> Do you like to handle with more than 30 diskettes to install an OS?. Plus
 HR> approximate 20 diskettes for a Fixpack + .....?

Not really, but do I have a choice?

 HR> On ebay you my find a used CDR for a few $.

It's still expensive, plus the shipping and all that stuff, trust me, I'm
not rich enough.

 HR> On other hand if you have got a friend with a CDR you my copy all needed
 HR> diskettes from CD to diskettes. On each WARP CD is a .cmd (startable
 HR> under
 HR> OS/2) and a .bat (for DOS systems) for copying the dikette images to
 HR> diskettes.

That could be an alternative.

 HR> Hardware requirement for

 HR>                 WARP 3          WARP 4
 HR> CPU             I386            I486 (creeps on 386 too)
 HR> Memory          12 MB           16 MB (with Voice Type 24 or more)
 HR> Disk            250 MB          400 MB          (including swapper.dat)

That's it, now I can forget about getting Warp 3 or Warp 4.

I'll stay with the ever crashing OS/2 2.1 :(
