Thats good! I'm having fun here as my nodelist segment got backdated some 3-4 years when I was on travel. LOL, a burp upwind of me. Hey happens. I'm not about to dress up in war paint over it!

Thats the thing... I just don't care to hear about it. I don't care to take interest in it or what others are doing with it. Unfortunately it seems to make up the vast majority of Sysop conversation in some places.

What I care about is when someone's OS is being shoved down my throat about how great it is when that person cannot configure their mailer or BBS properly or generate a correct nodelist segment.

well maybe you are just taking it that way.
it's not a dick, don't take it so hard!!


there's a lot of people that have been around for decades that can't configure their mailer or setup FTN. I fixed several people's messes and i'm no expert on that. one of them is that guy who always floods dupes. arooooooo!

also i've taught 2 people who later ran large msg networks. they later
claimed i didn't help them at all. one even claimed to not know me.
this is after going in via teamviewer to both of them and i got the chat logs to prove it. and here i am, this dumb person who's not an expert setting it up for people and doing it better.

just take it easy and give them some help.
if they talk about linux, it's probably because there's somethings they like about it. if they talk about os2 they're probably missing some screws.

I used to like running a simple GUI, but mostly to have a bunch of
xterms open to see various aspects of the system. I've been playing
with tildes lately (think of those old-school shell accounts, but with community tools, personal web and gemini space, and IRC) and started
playing with tmux. I'll use tmux on the next server I set up and leave
off the GUI.

I have zero problem with OS/2 Sysops.... they tend to have working Fido set

I miss my OS/2 setup. Honestly if Warp v4 would've installed correctly on BBS machine hardware I would be running it now.

I remember in the summer of '01 being shown Windows 2000 Server and that spelt the end of my love affair with OS/2.

it actually used to be called 'sin city' it had a strip club on every corner of the popular streets. in the 80s they decided to clean it all up and it was even super difficult to have even a tattoo parlor in the city.

right now i live within range of 3 strip clubs but these girls just have no game and the clubs are just lapdance factories. they used to be good places to just go out and have a good night.

I think you mentioned this before - wasn't it MPTS or something that was a total disaster. There was something about the way things bound in the OS/2 stack that was convoluted compared to Windows.

One of a few reasons I instantly made the switch was remote access. You could RDP into your box for free. On OS/2 you had to pay for a commercial solution or use VNC which was choppy and full of bugs. It had tape drive facilities
out of the box, even supported shadow copy. OS/2 tape software was nonexistant or commercial I think.

That and it was also hardware in the end. I got so tired of having to make absolutely sure that some video card or controller was going to be OS/2 compatible. Then there was HPFS trashing half the drive, problems with USB and PCI and other fun stuff that always crashed when I went away for a weekend.

OS/2 was perfect for me in the 90's till I outgrew it.
