I have worked with, installed, and ran OS/2 far many times. And if 
you are worried about only waiting 4-6 hours to change over to OS/2, 
then you have a big surprise coming. I've used OS/2 for 17 months 
and the time you waste with OS/2 seems to be never ending. If you're 
not reconfiguring it over and over again, then you are either 
tracking down drivers, software, etc.

Please Chris, take my warning seriously. I am not kidding. If you 
want to get serious work done and not fiddle around for hours per 
week, then don't even bother. For example, I count my whole 17 
months with OS/2 as a total waste of time. Yes, my hardware was OS/2 
compatible. Yes I ran stable applications. Yes, I knew what I was 
doing. Yes, yes, yes! And I still feel this way. But only you can 
make this choice yourself. I can only warn you about it.
