   Attempted to setup ODIN...but was not able to do anything else with it. That   
   & win32s are interesting ideas...but until they become as easy to setup/use   
   as WINE for linux...nice idea.

   Have to agree with you on this. On the other hand...have my fingers crossed   
   with QT5 coming...many of these limitations will disappear & make it as   
   usable as any linux distro out there with the apps available.   
      
   Personally...was never really into cars & such...so running OS/2 & goofing   
   off with it is more like having that sports car as a middle aged   
   crisis...only without the girlfriend or wife around to feel guilty about. ;)
