Hi Sean,

SD>It's raining right now and it's 54.5 degrees F out.  It's cold, but
SD>not unbearably so.

Since monday the temperature has been just below freezing but today it
was 24 F (-4.5 C) in the morning. The forecast for the afternoon says it
will be -2 C and sunny.

It's the reliability that keeps me running OS/2 and the freedom of
viruses. I don't use any virus nor firewall programs on the OS/2 boxes
and the operating system requires a modest 120 Mb space on the HD.

I did however run into the old age of Warp 4 recently when I wanted to
install OS/2, Windows and Ubuntu on a computer with a 40 Gb IDE
harddisk. So far all my OS/2 systems run on small SCSI HD's.

Of course I will install OS/2 within the first 1024 cylinders and I have
install update diskettes #1 and #2 dated Aug. 3 2001 but the #2 stops
dead in its track without letting me continue.

If I just knew which driver it hangs on it would be easy to replace but
now I have to try to make a new install disk #2 by substituting drivers.
That may become time consuming.

Happy New Year,

Holger
