  • Arca Noae Blue Lion

    From Bryan Handfield@1:275/89 to All on Saturday, March 19, 2016 21:10:00
    Hey,

    Noticed recently that Arca Noae is developing the next version of OS/2. Wonder how good it will be? I have eCS 2.2 running in Parallels just for old times sake.... boy it does bring back memories! :)

    Cheers,

    Bryan

    Yeah, it's pretty much going to be OS/2 the way IBM should have intended
    it with IBM's original kernel code and such. AN made the Blue Lion announcement sometime around the middle of last year I believe.

    It will definitely be expensive. You can have a look at their
    current products prices.

    But I think that this will be a case of getting what you pay for :)

    What makes you think so? I would like to become a happy customer
    unless it's
    not too expensive.

    I think so because it's OS/2 :)

    It's about time. I hope I will live long enough to experience that, and
    that it will sell at an affordable price, to us private users.

    Gone will hopefully be the days, of jumping through all kinds of hoops,
    to be able to install OS/2 on modern machines.

    Have a nice day,

    Holger
