Yes JD!   
      
    JD> Out of curiosity, anyone still using OS/2 for... anything?   
      
    JD> This BBS runs the DOS version of Maximus on OS/2, on a    
    JD> Pentium, on my floor. I still like the OS, as useless    
    JD> as it might have become. :)   
      
   Absolutely still solid with OS/2 here.  Have been part of a major group design   
   operation still solidly based on OS/2 since even before there was an Internet   
   when I was even part of the FidoNet development doggie pack, grin.  I was the   
   key part to the creation of 'private' telephone numbers for FidoNet as I was   
   the creator of the original underground telephone lines that might survive the   
   Russian whop on the US back in the days of the Cold War.  So that if Net 117   
   here in College Station, Texas and Texas A&M College got hit I could still   
   show folks how buried phone service could be bridged to even ham radio sites   
   miles away where it was abolutely able to merge the data even to CW and other   
   digital HF and VHF bands.  I proved in the ARRL Field Day contests that this   
   whole technique could even be used back then to even move encrypted HF digital   
   signals, for example, from here even to Perth, Australia and even be shared   
   with reception data for thousands of needed receptors at the right time of the   
   day or night with even only a few hundred watts or less power.  I even still   
   have the US ARRL's letter thanking me as W5WQN for the contribution to   
   humanity.   
      
   Right or wrong, I've got about 16 actual nodes, mostly private, to update   
   every week still for the FidoNet Nodelist update.  And I'm still hugely   
   required to support massive over one and a half million lines of my own source   
   code which is absolutely main-pointed to OS/2.  I will note that the focus   
   here which is on the old OS/2 source level code is far better useable on the   
   much later Warp 4.5 level code.  However you absolutely must be of focus to a   
   huge amount of updated device driver and other support that now is heavilyu   
   related to even ECS stuff.  I absolutely understand how most folks that are   
   BBS oriented or such would be very much lower in the factoids and heavy IT and   
   telecommunications technology skills level of today to keep up with even OS/2   
   at this time.   
      
   And everything is getting worse and worse as man in the middle and nasty   
   actvity keeps romping higher and higher on all humanity that really poses a   
   problem for all us humans.  But still I try to carry all of us up even in   
   FidoNet for as long as I can look upward into the heavans and do what I think   
   is the real purpose of all humanity,
