An anonymous reader writes: We all know the ill-fated history of IBM's OS/2 Warp, while some others may not know about the first OS/2-OEM distribution called eComStation. Now a new company called Arca Noae, not happy with the results of this last distribution, has signed an agreement with IBM to create a. They announced a this last October; this will be based on OS/2 Warp 4.52 and the SMP kernel. The OS/2 community has taken this news with positivism and the everybody that has developed for OS/2 on the past to open source their source code to collaborate. Introducing New Positivism Positivism can help with feelings of negativity, despair, hopelessness and issues arising from low self esteem. Positivism is not for everyone, ask your doctor if they are stupid enough to prescribe Positivism for you. Epson Gt 7300u Driver Windows Xp. Positivism may cause sudden sexual arousal and should only be used around really good friends.

Consistent with that direction, OS/2 Warp V4 and OS/2 Warp Server for e-business have been withdrawn from marketing and the product CDs are no longer available.

Test subjects also reported uncontrollable urges to lick someone's ear. Other reported side effects include sudden explosive flatulence combined with diarrhea, random r. I remember being so blown away by OS2/Warp's ability to multi-task so many applications at once, with such a clean UI. That was in the Windows 3.11 days, before Win95 changed everything.

I had a friend who migrated to OS2, and I was seriously considering it myself. But in the end, I decided to wait for Win95. I think if OS2/Warp had come out just a little earlier and gotten more promotion in non-geek circles, it may have become the dominant OS and we would be looking at a very different desktop landscape to. I think it was more due to really bad advertising from IBM. I remember OS/2 Warp Commercials, I was computer savvy enough to know OS/2 was an Operating system.

Others at that time had no idea what they were trying to sell. Just a bunch of psychedelic colors and people looking amazed at the screen. Without actually showing the OS or its features.

Microsoft actually showed the product and what new features it could do, although many of such features were inferior to what OS/2 can do, people actually could s. I remember being so blown away by OS2/Warp's ability to multi-task so many applications at once, with such a clean UI. As an older programmer, let me suggest one ought to be reticent about saying things like that. I know that by any reasonable standard it should make you sound experienced and therefore worth listening to, but if you have any gray in your hair it's bound to have a very different effect. Like the time I sat next to a guy at a banquet who was reminiscing about when his department got an IBM 701. 'Yep,' he said with evident satisfaction, 'that was a stored program jobbie.' Employers are looking for programmers who were in diapers while you were being blown away by OS/2, so ixnay on that kind of alktay.

Instead practice saying things like 'Node.js is so 2015.' And when someone asks you what you mean, turn to them, raise one eyebrow, then literally turn your back on them. Draconic, fascist Windows 10 comes out and Microsoft proceeds to try to force it down everyone's throat, and out of left field comes, after what seems like a geologic age, a new version of OS/2. Not sure what to think of that timing. This was prophesised in Revelations. Lo, and the huge and evil beast with 10 horns was smote by the small usurper, bent over twice in rebirth, and cast out of the heavens into the fiery pit.

Yea and verily, not until this comes to pass shall the chip be righted, and a thousand years of peace come to pass. 'contribute' I think I'm done paying for any OS, and I have no interest in 'donating' money either, as if I have any to spare anymore.

I've got an old P4 laptop I got for free that's still running XP, I think I'll be picking out a Linux distro of some sort and learning how to use that, then when I build a new desktop finally I'll be all ready to load it up with that. The one or two pieces of software that I need to use that only have Windows versions will run just fine under WINE, from what I'm told. Amigas and C/64 machines playing block/character graphics games. Amiga, block/character games?

You obviously haven't grown up with computers from that era, because the C/64 had graphics that were way ahead of the other similar 8-bit computers and the Amiga had the best graphics of them all. The competition at the time was the Color Computer 2, the TI-99/4A, the PC with either Hercules, CGA or EGA graphics, the Mac with black and white graphics or the Atari ST with much fewer colours on the screen. Both the C/64 and the Amiga were king of their own class of computers.
