Well, I've tested it and now have my good old OS/2 back working, including nfs |
32 |
network! |
33 |
But I have that on my notebook - because Parallels doesn't configure on a 64 |
34 |
bit machine at the time. |
35 |
I also got news of a new Win4lin Pro version (Win4Lin uses qemu), and they are |
36 |
promoting their software. |
37 |
|
38 |
Also not that while some sell every release (vmware and, it seems, parallels |
39 |
have you pay every *.x release - Win4lin users have acces to every release |
40 |
since 1.0, maybe because it never workes properly ;) |
41 |

Well, the fact that their machine runs OS/2 geot parallels my money... brings |
43 |
back a lot of feelings :) |

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a |
49 |
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the |
50 |
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |
