[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1564555"] Yep! Warp was a better Windows than Windows was. I remember showing someone my OS/2 Warp system simultaneously downloading a big file on my 1200 baud modem, printing a document on my printer and then moving the mouse smoothly across the screen. IBM knew how to do multiprocessing from the days of VM on the mainframe and brought that to the PC. Brilliant! I have the install disks on 3.5" floppies, and I think I have the Warp CD somewhere, but haven't run it in a while. I used OS/2 to run a BBS system that had 15 phone lines into my house. The cops actually visited because they thought I was running a bookie shop. Fortunately, one of them was a PC user and understood what was going on and explained it to the other one. [/QUOTE]
