Hi Nightfox,

I was a big OS/2 user back in the day. The only reason for moving away was
that the hardware progressed and the os didn't.... By the time the recent
newer versions came out, like so many I'd moved on and no longer had/have a
use for it.

The oldest intel machine I own is a first gen P4, and I'm not going to spend
$250AUD on a os that might not work or have a use for.
