OS/2 can be a bitch to get working properly in a VM.  It requires some odd
CPU calls that some VMs don't support and in some cases, it requires
hardware acceleration that some modern computers can't support properly in
a VM.  I'm not an expert in this, of course, but I've enough experience to
not be bothered.

If I was going to use a VM, it'd be XP under Linux.  However, I have had XP
and Linux running under OS/2 which tweaked some of my friends' minds. ;)

Again, like I told Matt, if you were going to try to run OS/2 on modern
equipment, I would take a look at eComStation since it's being actively
developed and run on more modern equipment.

As for the old equipment, well, I can head down to Atlanta and buy a pallet
full of P4 machines for under $100 so if I need parts, no big deal. :)

Then again, people keep giving me their old computers so I am generally not
wanting for parts very often!

Later,
Sean
