   I let it show that much, eh? :D

   While I still have a special place in my heart for OS/2, until IBM allows    
   OS/2's kernel to be updated to 64-bit and the video subsystem to be updated    
   internally instead of relying on external systems (a la SNAP), I don't think    
   I'll use it again.  OS/2 being a true multiuser system would be nice as well    
   as some sort of native SSH-like setup would be cool.

   That was still my favorite system.  While I do like MBSE a lot even with its    
   quirks and warts, I guess it's nostalgia that's making me wax poetic here...

   I barely get any callers myself (except getting hammered by script kiddies    
   from China and Russia) but I guess it's just something I still enjoy doing as    
   a hobby when I have time, much like my amateur radio.

   I will make a note of that and pass it on if and when I get elected.
