I agree. I mentioned that to the bios company rep on the phone. They
have called me 3 times and the price is down to $19.95 for updated bios.
I have several older friends who need stimulation and this old equipment
provide email and web surfing means. I can show them how to get and send
email and surf the web. For starting, I don't see the learning curve any
harder with os/2 than Windows. Also, I can give back these old computers
to the school I got them from. They were throwing them out, but with os/2
installed, it would be a good teaching tool for the computer club and for
the computer insturctors.
