Personally, I love OS/2.  Desqview is an excellent multi-tasker for DOS
programs, so it works wonderfully when you're running a DOS-based BBS.
But with the proper configuration, OS/2 will run DOS sessions just as well,
if not better, and you can run OS/2 applications and Windows 3.1 applications
all at the same time.

I'd install OS/2 on your other computer and play with it a bit before
switching over.  Get things optimized first.

No, we certainly don't... I'm glad to see something happening here again
(last post was from like 159 days ago!).
