In a message on 01-01-20 August Abolins said to Holger Granholm:
Good evening August,
and thank you for an interesting reply to a short message.
AA> And the same back to you! As I write this, it is now roughly 4pm in
AA> your part of the world, and 9:30a in mine.
It's now 19:39 here while I write this and this msg will move on when
my system polls my host next time.
AA> Hope your 1st day of the new year is great.
Yeah it was asa did the entire christmas holiday along with my loved
grandchild+wife who work/live in Stockholm, my two daughters on xmas eve
dinner with the gift ceremony and a dinner at at my sons home on xmas day
AA> I have this day as a time away from work. It is a welcome respite
I am retired so I have a respite every day but working people are free
from the afternoon of xmas eve and then both on christmas day one and two
AA> The *plan* was to do same basic computer clean-up: ...
.....
AA> But.. I decided I'll just veg out today.
AA> And.. what brings you (OS/2 user) into this WIn95-specific echo? <g>
Actually I have friends using this echo and I use Windows 10pro also.
AA> This echo was a fine hang-out for many things Windows.
AA> Much good help and advice arose.
AA> Who really uses Win3.x/95/98 anymore except for limited things? :(
Pause.........for news, weather, sport, etc.
Well, I do still have OS/2-W3fWg i my office machine with OS/2 Warp 4
but never use that Windows anymore.
AA> I was completely happy using OS/2 2.1 and then Warp for my
AA> fidonet/echomail/sysop/bbs purposes in the past (until I had a hdd
AA> crash).
I did also start with OS/2 v2.1 from a demo CD and upgraded to Warp3/Win
and then Warp4/Win through various Fixpak's to FP 12.
AA> But in reality, the newer OSes (even the linuxes) seem to be much
AA> better! <G>
I didn't have any of the Win 95/98/2000/7 versions but received a Dell
Laptop with Win10pro installed as a xmas gift from my Gs in Stockholm who
BTW is the only one of my children/grandchildren that checks my health
twice/week.
I just had a call from him that forced another pause......
Anyway I found that version so usable that I bought a stationary machine
with Win7 and upgraded it to 10pro while that still was free.
But I will never trust my BBS to be run under Windows. I had several blue
screen crashes "Your PC has got a problem" but after I finally replied to
M$ 'Yes I know, I am running Windows' the blue screens ceased.
HG> * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands.
AA> That part of the world looks amazing. 6,700 islands!
Yes, it is. I was born and grew up in Helsinki but after a holiday here
with my wife we decided to move here 1957.
AA> Have a good day, and a wonderful year ahead.
Same to you.
Have a good night,
Holger
