They were going to throw a bunch              I can't remember exactly how I got my first copy, but it was 2.1 I       believe or 1.2. I was (still am) a programmer for IBM midrange systems       (learned from my Dad). My Dad at the time was doing some Dbase       programming I think. And he wanted something better than Windows. So he       got OS/2 and I think he got one for me so I could then help him with       it.               We both then upgraded each release. And even turned on a few clients to       it as well. We had a CPA that just outright loved OS/2 and would not       use anything else.               But I used OS/2 until it was retired, then I bought of copy of       EComStation and used it, and now ArcaOS.               Kev                      --- Telegard/2/QWK v3.09.g2-sp4/mL        * Origin: Razor's Domain/2 BBS (1:19/50.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 221/1 6 227/114 229/101 426 452 616 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 1634 5832 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 400 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 292/789 854 8125 313/41 317/3 322/757 333/808 335/206       SEEN-BY: 335/364 342/200 633/280 2432/390 2452/250       PATH: 200/1 19/50 396/45 261/38 240/1120 335/364 292/854 229/426           |
