Running at Warp speed ...


... yet another old OS/2 Man ...

... and ...


... a new wonderful Linux Guy !!! :-))

Si', hai capito benissimo !!! Sono un vecchio utente OS/2 ed un nuovo utente Linux. Considero infatti OS/2 e Linux i due piu' solidi e potenti Sistemi Operativi per la piattaforma Intel.

Yes, you have perfectly understood !!! I'm an old OS/2 user and a new Linux user. In fact, I consider OS/2 and Linux the two more solid and powerful Operating Systems for the Intel platform.

Windows 95 non tocchera' mai il mio sistema !!!

Windows 95 will never touch my system !!!

Ad essere onesto, devo comunque modificare leggermente quanto sopra affermato, siccome ora ho una configurazione multisistema che mi consente, tramite l'ottimo System Commander, di usare ben 5 differenti Sistemi Operativi (MS-DOS 6.22, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000 Professional, OS/2 Warp 4.0 e Linux RedHat 9.0 Professional) sullo stesso PC. Windows 98 ha quindi "toccato" il mio sistema, anche se SOLO per potere usare i molti giochi scritti per esso .... per i programmi seri, invece, uso solamente Sistemi Operativi seri!

To be honest, I need slightly to modify my precedent statement, since now I have a multisystem configuration which allows me, using the very good System Commander, to boot into 5 different Operating Systems (MS-DOS 6.22, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000 Professional, OS/2 Warp 4.0 and Linux RedHat 9.0 Professional) on the same PC. So, Windows 98 "touched" my system, but just to allow me to play with some of the numerous games written for it ... however, for serious programs, I use just seriuos Operating Systems!

I hate the ATA/EIDE bulls*it !!! I am a proud SCSI addicted !!!
