In the past hour I got the OS installed on my        KN> DL> new system. Runs like a dream!        KN> Welcome back to the OS/2 World :)              With the updates (USB & such) makes it so much better than dealing with       floppies & such. The feeling of seeing it run is like wearing your favorite       clothes. They fit great & make you feel great.               KN> DL> installation to continue. On final reboot...pull out the USB drive an        KN> DL> let it go straight to the desktop.        KN> Good to know! I haven't tried a USB install yet, so I'll make note of        KN> that.               Had it hang several times. Unplugged the keyboard/mouse to make sure I wasn't       doing something stupid. Wasn't. It just hangs up on USB...but not the DVD.       Figured it out...so just need to remember to unplug the USB on the 2nd boot &       throw it back in after it goes to loading drivers.               KN> I forget what my main system has, but it's way more than enough for        KN> OS/2 needs. I think it might be 16gb and I have 8gb ramdrive or maybe        KN> it's 8gb with a 4gb ramdrive. Eitherway, the machine is hardly ever        KN> sluggish. Except when I open up Firefox, that can take a few more        KN> seconds than usual.               Even under the VM last week...Firefox was more responsive than on my 10       machine. With 1 GB...it was flying. Haven't tried it after I put in 16 GB       from the original 8 GB I had in there. I was impressed...because I never       remember Warp running like this back in the day.               KN> I have 2 old IBM Thinkpads that I have Arca installed on as backups        KN> for my BBS machine. And it runs great on them. They are just basic              That's what I was looking for...but when I got this thin client for       $50...couldn't afford to pass it up...especially since the seller was doing       everything to get rid of them.              ACME BBS-Member of fsxNet/WWIVNet/SciNet/AmigaNet/VKRadio/FidoNet/MicroNet.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32)        * Origin: ACME BBS-W.Coyote & D.Brown are our best users.
