      In a message on 06-15-18 Sean Dennis said to Holger Granholm:              Hi Sean,              SD> Those of us who like to use modern hardware. You'd be surprised at       SD> how quickly you can fill up disks when you're a file hub.              Yes I know and with your wellstocked file department I understand that.              My system has more or less become a bulletin board as the BBS states.       I distribute ANS, ARRL, SRAL and SSA bulletins to scandinavian hams.               HG> I have been told that the new versions such as Arca-OS and eComOS can        HG> be installed on modern machines.              SD> There's a limit to how modern, however. That's why I moved my BBS       SD> to Linux.              Well, I'm not interested in the latest hardware because OS/2 runs very       nicely on semi-old machines. I do however want to install OS/2 on a       laptop with dual core processor and maybe also on a stationary PC.              I would also like to try OS/2 on a VM under Win10 but that's not so       important because of the blue-screen presented to users because of       programming errors done by M$.              SD> Something fun: someone has written a 16-bit OS/2 shell for Linux. :)              I find no need for a 16-bit system. I don't even have so old hardware,       except the museum pieces Sinclair ZX-81 and a Triumph-Adler CP/M machine                     CU AGN, Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger                     ..
