LOL - I ran through installing OS/2 WARP this weekend... all 60+ floppies, since some of ya'll talked highly of it and I didn't use it in my MS-DOS days... it IS pretty flipping awesome.

I used the selective installer afterwards to get my Soundblaster working and have the WIN-OS2 extra stuff for running Windows .exe's... pretty spiffy.

Hoping to get a wifi modem working and possibly TCP/IP stuff - we'll see...

LOL - It was a hell of an install... I'll be making a video about OS/2 - I have my Soundblaster working correctly, but am hoping to get a wifi modem installed on COM2. :P

I also installed OS/2 WARP 4.52 Server for eBusiness in a VirtualBox VM; it was @ SVGA as the actual 486 was only 640x480 VGAx16.

Just imagine having that running for close to a decade, grown so affectionate and dependant on it, absolutely shunning Windows and even the Internet until it became clear it wasn't a fad. All three Renegade dialup lines humming
along like clockwork. Being able to log in locally on the fourth node fullscreen.

A near decade of the same icons, same wallpaper, same little Launchpad toolbar with the favourite programs... including the cute "monitor with the sleepy moon" shutdown icon that Warp 3 had.

You probably got hookups for OS/2 stuf, but let me know if you're lookin for anything particular. Some buds are _way_ into OS/2 :).

I don't have a CD-Rom... I need to get one setup so I can use CDs as opposed to the nightmare installs - they are kinda fun, IMO... but a CD-R is in order.

I was running a BBS at the same time, but I was on Desqview and then Desqview/X - I didn't wanna jump off MS-DOS, but looking at OS/2 now, I can see how it was pretty badass!!

Things I'll be looking out for. :P

I have a few good OS/2 archives; hobbes.nmsu.edu archive and a few CD-Roms full of software, but I don't have any 'spicy' stuff... I wasn't an OS/2 user, so....

At any rate, playing around now ... I wanna get my wifi modem working. Soundblaster setup was easy enough, so I don't think it'll give me too many issues.... just having fun in 2024 seeing what I shunned back in the day. UGH.
