    Hello poindexter!

    On period hardware, OS/2 rocked. Windows wasn't ready to mulitask DOS
    cleanly for a long time. I ran a 486 with OS/2, and ran Maximus for
    DOS in a DOS window. Worked pretty well - but then when I moved to all OS/2 binaries, I could do whatever I wanted on the system while the
    BBS was running and I could barely tell it was there.

    OS/2 3 or Warp 4?

    I remember beta testing os2 warp 4. I went to IBM HQ to pick about 27 3 1/2" disks...
