Hello Coridon.

Well, I know the Amiga's still alive... I know people that still use
Commodores of all types, I've got an Apple ][ C here somewhere...
What I'm saying is this: some of us will go running to the next latest and
greatest thing. If it works for me, I'll stick with it.
Something I read about Linux: "Linux is free only if your time isn't
valuable." I feel that an OS should not have to be hand-assembled to work to
get the basics going. IMNSHO, Linux is a craze amongst a small number of
people. I don't see all the developers running to Linux for mission-critical
applications.
Besides, all of those computers you mentioned are based on old chips. OS/2 is
based on the x86 set... as long as there's a x86 system around, it'll run
OS/2.
