In a message on Tuesday 10-16-16 Roger Nelson said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Hi Roger,   
      
   goes for any time of day, .   
      
   RN> Hej, (I forgot the Swedish word for morning, but I'll take a   
      
   RN>  I think it's m¢rgon, but am unsure.   
      
   Close but not a spike.   
   It's really very simple, Good morning, in swedish is God morgon.   
      
   RN> All you have to do for that is change your upgrade settings; i.e.,   
   RN> download, but do not install without your okay.  I do that here.   
      
    HG> Yes I know, but I haven't found that setting, even though I have   
    HG> tried.    
      
   It seems to me that I may have found that setting sometime, because I   
   have an icon on the screen, that says 'Windows10 Upgrade Assistant'.   
   Clicking on that gives a very meagry description of the upgrade, and   
   a slider that presently is set near the top. That's OK.   
      
   RN> What version of Windows are you using on your OS/2 machine?  (-:   
      
   See above, but it's not on an OS/2 machine. So far those machines run   
   only OS/2.   
      
   RN> That takes me back.  Too bad they couldn't produce a more affordable   
   RN> Amiga. That was a heck of a machine, but no one was writing programs   
   RN> for it.   
      
   Since I wasn't interested in 'game machine', I never paid attention to   
   the price of it, nor compared it to the price of an IBM compatible.   
      
   But it can't have been very expensive, because my GS was only schoolboy   
   when he got it, unless he was sponsored by somebody.   
      
    HG> The reason why nobody wrote programs for it, was that it was   
    HG> considered to be only a game machine, as were the earlier   
    HG> Commodores.   
      
   RN> No matter what it was referred as, any computer with contiguous   
   RN> memory would have been a success, at least with me, but I'm only one   
      
   RN> friend bring his Amiga in for a demo to the rest of those who showed   
   RN> up and I can tell you I was impressd from the outset.   
      
   I never tried the Amiga, but reading the manual impresses me still.   
      
    HG> There were in fact a few (a couple ?) office programs written for   
    HG> it, but the Amiga never took off.   
      
   RN> I did manage to convert an Amiga BASIC program so it would run on an   
   RN> IBM compatible.   
      
   I started programming in assembler, when I found that Basic wasn't good   
   enough to manage large and fast programs, on my Sinclair ZX-81.   
      
   Then I bought a CP/M machine, and converted earlier made Basic programs   
   to Turbo Pascal. After switching to an IBM compatible, I did also try   
   Turbo C, Modula and CA Realizer.   
      
    HG> If it had, even OS/2 would have been superfluos. It was that   
    HG> capable.    
      
   RN> Maybe so, but we'll never know.   
      
    HG> Have a nice day,   
      
      
   Ha en bra dag, in swedish,   
      
   Holger
