Hello All.

Some months ago I was asking around if anyone had info on Mike Luther (formerly
1:117/100). Not much info could be found at the time.

Today I heard from a lady that's a close friend of Mike's and actually got to speak with him for a few minutes. It turns out that Mike has been ill since 2015 though he never let on to it. He ended up having a stroke in October of 2018 and is now in a nursing home in Madisonville, Texas. After an extended conversation with his lady friend, it really doesn't sound all that good for him. It seems doubtful to me that he will live too much longer; it appears that
dementia is setting in, probably exacerbated by the stroke.

Best regards,
Marc

I'm really sorry to hear that. My maternal grandmother passed away last August
(due to pneumonia complications) and she had dementia setting in.

I don't know if he wants to hear from us but if there's a way to contact him, I'd like to be able to say hello. He helped me a lot in the late 90s and early
2000s with OS/2 and he was a real fountainhead of knowledge for me. You can contact me via netmail or email at sysop@outpostbbs.net.

Thanks,
Sean

Sean, I will check with his friend and see if he is still able to or wants to use his laptop. If he is I will forward your e-mail address to her. I'll try and keep you apprised as to what's going on with him.

Best regards,
Marc

Hi Sean,

Very sad news.

He helped me a lot in the late 90s and early 2000s with OS/2 and he
was a real fountainhead of knowledge for me.

He was a fountain of help to me when/if something went askew with OS/2.

BTW, what happened to my query about ArcaOS and eCS comparison when you
wrote that you contemplated change over from eCS?

I replied; did you ever get it? I was having issues with my feed for a while but I switched.
