   Hi Jeff,   
      
   JS> Years ago, I ran OS/2 Warp 4 as an OS. In recent years I kinda lost   
   JS> track of the development OS/2. My question then is how much has OS/2   
   JS> improved  in the support of hardware and Internet technologies?   
      
   Warp 4 runs happily on old machines, which means single-kern CPU's and   
   2 GB SCSI partitions. If you have an IDE HD the installation partn has   
   to be about 500 Mb, which isn't a handicap since the OS+GUI needs 120Mb.   
      
   JS> Lately, I have been in an experimenting mood and I still have Warp4   
   JS> media here.   
      
   See above.   
      
   JS> Is the current  releases commercial only these days? Or is Warp4   
   JS> still worth using today?   
      
   There's a new kid in the block today. His (or her) name is ArcaOS and   
   is available from:   
      
     https://www.arcanoae.com/product-category/an-products/   
      
   Installation of this OS/2 operating system is possible on modern   
   hardware.   
      
      
   Have a good night,
