This just shows how much you know about OS/2.  It doesn't require a
MicroChannel machine; I've run it on an old AT clone for months.  It hasn't
been that buggy since release 1.2.  The latest release, 1.3, is compact,
fast, powerful, and VERY VERY stable.

I like Windows, but it bugs me to know how much better an environment OS/2
is right now, and how little people really know about it.
