Ease of use definitely was not paramount back in the 1980s/90s. WARP was a great product.

Same with sw, I literally had a real copy of almost every piece of standard retail sw sold. I moved a lot back then and when I moved from Toronto to Munich, all of that was chucked out. When I moved to Denmark, I worked for a IT distributor, so that was similar to a wolf guarding sheep. <br />But I still have too much "IT history" on hand :)<br /><br />Yes, I noticed your OS2 Warp... it is all cool :) I can loan you my CD's ? :) Or some older versions of Sun Solaris for Intel ? Should fire those up in a vm once I get my thesis and 508 exam over. Still working on my book review as promised, nearly there !Mitch Impeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321296469098994211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9518042.post-49601306133380380942016-05-12T17:13:39.201-05:002016-05-12T17:13:39.201-05:00@Mitch,

In grad school, I set up two small networks; one 10-BaseT, the other 10-Base2. Both had an NT 3.51 Server and two Win95 systems, and were connected across two Cisco routers. The entire thing connected to the campus backbone via a 10-Base5 vampire tap.<br /><br />While I was out there, I went to Frye's a number of times, and "Weird Stuff" was right next door. They had tape drives, MS-DOS, IBM-DOS, MS OS/2 v.1.0, all in shrinkwrap. <br /><br />I notice that when I look at VirtualBox and what the options are for a "New" VM, I can create Win95...not that I'd want to, but hey, it's there. Might be fun to do an older version of Windows NT, though.<br /><br />And I hope you noticed the OS/2 Warp 4.52 VM that I got set up...kind of cool...H.

I have pretty much the same set of flopies / cd's as you mentioned. Plus several binders full of MS TechNet cd's should you ever require them. I have a shrink wrapped copy of IBM TopView for DOS from 1984 that runs under DOS 2.0. I have a couple of usb floppy drives from IBM as well and of course, they still work. I imaged the DOS disks when I was first learning about FAT in forensics. As for OS/2, there is at least one major bank here in Denmark using it :)<br />br, mitchMitch Impeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321296469098994211noreply@blogger.com
