Thought so. Actually see more people talking about running BBS's & such than
I do with ODIN/Win32S.

That's a nice dream & would be fantastic...but don't see either MS or IBM
playing nice for those of us who would run this.

Many years ago...bought the worst car I ever owned...67 VW Fastback. The
money/time I spent on that was amazing...but I wanted a VW. When I got
married...the wife/I looked at a Type 2 which needed brakes...but did run for
$500. More recently...started looking again & found that time is a very cruel
mistress with most of the AC Type I-IV's have rusted away to nothing in
fields & such. Even with the money...I have no where to do the work...while
getting TG/2 running...don't have the same limitations.
