   Hi Robert,   
      
   RW> Actually, I use multiple _8TB_ disks daily here at home, but not for   
   RW> BBS use. So, what is a "normal" human by definition?   
      
   That is of course an individual definition.   
      
   I am running a BBS under old Warp 4 on one machine and have Win 10pro   
   installed on a laptop as well as on a stationary PC.   
      
   My use of Windows is quite limited to the extent that it feels awkward.   
      
    HG> You don't have to tell me that. Only single core CPU's and small   
    HG> partitions are accepted at install.   
      
   RW> From my experiences, that is not the case with eCS and ArcaOS.   
      
   Oh no of course not. I was referring tomy many tries to implement OS/2   
   on newer machinery than the above mentioned.   
      
    HG> I have been told that the new versions such as Arca-OS and eComOS   
    HG> can be installed on modern machines.   
      
   RW> True, but with varying degrees of success, but it's still best to   
   RW> run both under a VM if you need your main OS to be Windows or Linux   
   RW> based.   
      
   Linux isn't even on the horizon anymore and I try to avoid Windows.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
