Windows 3.0 ran really great under OS/2 and under Desqview/X - but you
couldn't run a BBS with it - so it went in the trash. OS/2 was great -
cuz if the progman.exe died, it was just a program to kill - same with
any Windows program that ran separately from Windows via the
Presentation Manager. AND, the card games were at least
nicer...(Seahaven)...Desqview/X was cute cuz you could run the 16 MS-DOS
term sessions for the BBS whilst doing other DOS related things...(like
playing door-games locally or chatting w/ those online).
