   In a message on 01-01-20 August Abolins said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good evening August,   
      
   and thank you for an interesting reply to a short message.   
      
   AA> And the same back to you!  As I write this, it is now roughly 4pm in   
   AA> your part of the world, and 9:30a in mine.   
      
   It's now 19:39 here while I write this and this msg will move on when   
   my system polls my host next time.   
      
   AA> Hope your 1st day of the new year is great.   
      
   Yeah it was asa did the entire christmas holiday along with my loved   
   grandchild+wife who work/live in Stockholm, my two daughters on xmas eve   
   dinner with the gift ceremony and a dinner at at my sons home on xmas day   
      
   AA> I have this day as a time away from work. It is a welcome respite   
      
   I am retired so I have a respite every day but working people are free   
   from the afternoon of xmas eve and then both on christmas day one and two   
      
   AA> The *plan* was to do same basic computer clean-up: ...   
   .....   
   AA> But.. I decided I'll just veg out today.   
      
   AA> And.. what brings you (OS/2 user) into this WIn95-specific echo?    
      
   Actually I have friends using this echo and I use Windows 10pro also.   
      
   AA> This echo was a fine hang-out for many things Windows.   
   AA> Much good help and advice arose.   
      
   AA> Who really uses Win3.x/95/98 anymore except for limited things? :(   
      
   Pause.........for news, weather, sport, etc.   
      
   Well, I do still have OS/2-W3fWg i my office machine with OS/2 Warp 4   
   but never use that Windows anymore.   
      
   AA> I was completely happy using OS/2 2.1 and then Warp for my   
   AA> fidonet/echomail/sysop/bbs purposes in the past (until I had a hdd   
   AA> crash).   
      
   I did also start with OS/2 v2.1 from a demo CD and upgraded to Warp3/Win   
   and then Warp4/Win through various Fixpak's to FP 12.   
      
   AA> But in reality, the newer OSes (even the linuxes) seem to be much   
   AA> better!    
      
   I didn't have any of the Win 95/98/2000/7 versions but received a Dell   
   Laptop with Win10pro installed as a xmas gift from my Gs in Stockholm who   
   BTW is the only one of my children/grandchildren that checks my health   
   twice/week.   
      
   I just had a call from him that forced another pause......   
      
   Anyway I found that version so usable that I bought a stationary machine   
   with Win7 and upgraded it to 10pro while that still was free.   
      
   But I will never trust my BBS to be run under Windows. I had several blue   
   screen crashes "Your PC has got a problem" but after I finally replied to   
   M$ 'Yes I know, I am running Windows' the blue screens ceased.

   AA> That part of the world looks amazing.  6,700 islands!   
      
   Yes, it is. I was born and grew up in Helsinki but after a holiday here   
   with my wife we decided to move here 1957.   
      
   AA> Have a good day, and a wonderful year ahead.   
      
   Same to you.   
      
      
   Have a good night,
