Very wise choice because I bought a licence 3 years ago which turned out  
to be a HUGE mistake. After messing around with the simplest of things for  
many weeks and getting virtually nowhere, I came to the conclusion that  
I'd paid them for the privelege of being an alpha tester!! Quite simply  
put, it wasn't fit for purpose.

With the help of their support guys, it took ~10 days to get it to  
actually boot. USB support was terrible. DOS-OS/2 sessions didn't work.  
Win-OS/2 sessions didn't work. The included version of Firefox was ancient  
and took forever to load. Those are just some of the things that spring to  
mind off the top of my head. My licence has long since expired and I've  
not read anything anywhere that makes me want to rush out and buy another  
licence.

I had Warp3 but it went in the bin long ago(13 floppies!) =8)

Martin
