Later I ran just about every PC based networking product that ever came out. I stopped running servers when Desqview came out. Desqview allowed me to test my networking code without having to have a network. When IBM OS/2 came out, I switched to it for all my dev work. WIth 8MB of RAM and a 17" monitor, I could do some amazing dev work. In 1994, I was doing so much dev work I ran multiple physical servers: NetWare, NT 3.1/3.5/3.51, OS/2 and several others. System Commander allowed me to run multiple client OSs on my main dev box (dual Pentium Pro with 128MB RAM). Good times back then writing Assembler, C, COBOL, multiple variants of BASIC, every variant of dBASE and really got into Crystal Reports dev work.
