[Discussion] When you thought OS/2 was dead - its like the pink bunny it keeps on ticking

Sat Oct 27 16:28:44 PDT 2007

Hi Larry,

Good to hear from you on the POSSI  forum.
My number is 335.
I remember that you had to move to Linux, so it is good to hear that you 
still have an OS/2 box running. I have two systems that need eCS 
installed and I have been (very patiently) waiting for 2.0, one system 
has eCS 1.1. Let us know how many people replied to your offer.

Regards,
Pavel
