     There are others here!! Yes!!  Ok, witht that out of the way...
Convince you to run OS/2 over what you have now... Ok, dx4/100... How much
ram?? That's not enough!!  Just kidding  I'm running a dx2/80 with 16
megs... I play Terminal Velocity alot, and the only time I see a lag, is with
2 doorgames going... Worst being LORD and Usurper.... I can do anything I
want, and not worry about it... And, if I can get some $$ together while ram
is cheap, I'm going to go to at least 20 megs... Prob witht that is replacing
the 16 megs of 30 pin with 16 megs of 72 pin... As for reliability, I reboot
only when I make changes to the config.sys... I don't worry about coming home
to a locked up bbs anymore (had some hardware conflicts before that caused me
much grief).... I'd just check that your hardware (like cd-rom drives, video
card, and such), have support under Warp... I've got a Logitech SCSI sound
card in my other computer that Os/2 doesn't recognize, and Logitech doesn't
support OS/2  So, it doesn't run it... still running W4WG 3.11... Anyways,
if you have any questions about anything, let me know, and I'll answer them
the best I can... Hope that's a long enough post to get this sub going!!
