   Ahmm... I'm biased.  This VirtualBox VM has been running for nigh on six   
   years, mostly 24/7x365 except for short term breakages.  Also, I haven't seen   
   anything running OS/2 for over 26 years.   
      
   Maybe the man, Mark, can help you?  Good luck!   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
