   I think the slowest machine running on my LAN now is 1.6gHz.  Of course, I'm   
   now completely spoiled...

   OS/2's been floating along for 15 years now and believe it or not, I'm   
   basically using the exact same OS setup that I started with all those years   
   ago.  It's just been rock solid for me.

   I'd never tried anything but OS/2 for many years.  When I did try a   
   Windows-based board, I just found it more kludgy than my OS/2 setup so I went   
   back to what works for me.   
      
   These days, I'm too lazy to even think about doing anything else.  I've   
   actually gotten to the point to where if I start having problems with the   
   board, I'd just soon shut it down as I am very, very quickly getting to where   
   I will have very little precious "downtime" let alone any time to do any   
   serious backend work on a BBS.
