Agreed. It was one of the reasons I finally ditched it for Windows 2000.

Yes it runs BBS and DOS stuff good but just got so tired of watching all my
friends actually enjoy the Internet at the time while I was stuck getting an
OS/2 Netscape browser to even render a basic site correctly.

Seeing Windows "just work" with all its networking stuff and built-in RDP 
remote access, tape backup etc, there was no turning back. At the time I 
really believed Microsoft finally got it right. Remote access and proper 
snapshot-based backup on OS/2 was just impossible or halfassed.

I was also starting to manage a small office LAN and it just made sense to 
start using at home what I was using at work... we talked about this before I 
think? It was one reason I ended up buying licensing for Server 2019 and
Exchange and other stuff for myself because its the only was I was going to 
really learn... always hated watching Youtube videos.
