   Sweet. If it ain't broke . . .  :-)   
      
   I was one of those people in the 90's that *wanted* to use OS/2 but   
   could not afford the hardware to run it properly. So, instead I bought   
   and installed Windows 3.1.   
      
   Today I have OS/2 Warp 4 running in VirtualBox on my Linux desktop. I   
   also use Windows 10 for work only, which also runs in a virtual machine.   
      
   On OS/2 one thing I have yet to learn is how objects are used properly.   
   I mean, just trying to make what I would consider a shortcut on the   
   desktop to an application, I have not figured out without copying the   
   whole application to the desktop. But, I confess I have not put much   
   time into it since it's just for fun to tinker around with since I   
   couldn't back in the day. :-)   
      
   And for my Offline QWK Mail reading, I use DOSBOX-X with Blue Wave 2.3.   
   Operating systems have become applications that allow me to run sub   
   applications. Hahaha.
