    KN> to OS/2.   
      
   I remember when 95 came out. Couldn't believe he lines outside of retail   
   stores of people trying to get it. Was living in Kingman, AZ at the time &   
   couldn't believe it. Myself...kept using DOS 5 or 6.   
      
   Actually went to Wal-Mart in Kingman to get some upgrades. Got some 1 MB   
   sticks for a 386 & found a copy of the red spine edition...since I couldn't   
   afford the blue spine edition. Held onto that for years & would play with it   
   through the years...even after working for Gateway & buying one of their   
   systems on employee purchase. Hated it that I only could afford 1 computer at   
   the time & for a long time. Now...I have two RPi's...an AMD system I'm using   
   right now & the ThinkCentre I bought for $50 a couple of weeks ago to run   
   ArcaOS on with a 1 TB HDD. May even get another stick of memory very cheap.   
   Things have changed from the old days.
