    KN> I can't remember exactly how I got my first copy, but it was 2.1 I   
    KN> believe or 1.2. I was (still am) a programmer for IBM midrange systems   
      
   Remember seeing something about IBM needing beta testers for 2.1 on floppy.   
   Didn't have a system to run it on...but a ton of new floppies were more than   
   welcome. Then a few years later...got the red spine of Warp 3 at Wal-Mart &   
   played around with that. Then someone got me a copy of 4 to play with...but   
   was more enamored with Windows...so didn't bother & went back to   
   Windows/Linux.   
      
    KN> But I used OS/2 until it was retired, then I bought of copy of   
    KN> EComStation and used it, and now ArcaOS.    
      
   Tried to use the demo version of ECom...but couldn't come up with the money   
   to get a copy of it. Now...if I can tweak it & they get some more of the   
   upgrades done to it...might get another license & run it on my main system.   
   That's a LONG way away...unless they can adapt ODIN/WINE to run a lot of the   
   Windows software. At that time...screw 10.
