 SR> IS OS/2 still updated ?

 SD> Yes, by a third-party company.  It's called ArcaOS which Andrew, Kevin,
 SD> and I run for our BBSes (or in Andrew's case, one of his BBSes).  This
 SD> company has really been working hard to bring OS/2 into the modern age.
 SD>  It's not cheap but it's worth it since they have ported a LOT of Linux
 SD> stuff over into ArcaOS which really extends its functionality.

 SD> ArcaOS is still 32-bit.  The company, Arca Noae, have said in order for
 SD> them to make it 64-bit, IBM would have to talk to Microsoft about
 SD> licensing the kernel code for that and from what they've been told, MS
 SD> won't do it.

 SD> People forget that the modern versions of Windows owe a lot to OS/2.
 SD> If it wasnt for OS/2, we'd still be at Windows ME v20. :D

 SD> Oh, yes.
