    KN>  DL> I am stoked right now. 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.
