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.

Later,
Sean
