I remember, probably when I was in high school... A friend of mine bought OS/2 2.0. He bought it on CD-ROM because it was cheaper... He didn't have a CD-ROM drive, but I did. So he came over to my house with a big stack of floppies and the disc. I think we had to repeat this process more than once, because some of the floppies wouldn't read in his machine :p. I remember installing it myself, but my proprietary Sony 1x CD-ROM drive (which I recall costing around $500 :p) wasn't supported :). My first computer was a TI 99/4a. I wanted an Atari for Christmas that year... I think I learned a lot more than I would have from a 2600 :). Pat
