2008-02-12 21:58:20 | I'm a proud user ofOS/2 since vers.2.1 - now on Warp 4 (older hardware), Warp Server 4 and eComStation 1.1 and 1.2 (multiple lic.) . So is my son. - Home LAN very good, also with Win 98SE. Very fast, very stable, no viruses and trojans (homebanking) - - Mostly missing: a good DVD burning and copying program (like NERO 6.0 for Windows); a modern internet browser with sufficient plug-ins (PDF, Flash, Real Player,...); hardware and software for WLAN with WPA; drivers for most recent video cards, drivers for recent printers and scanners. - - No "nice" icons needed - WPS is good!
Kind regards from Laatzen (Hannover), Germany, the city of the CEBit

2009-03-29 23:07:08 | I still use eComStation, but the computer is currently down. My video card fried and I have the replacement sitting on my desk, just haven't gotten around to installing it.
eCS has all that I need and is virus free. I had a French visitor who lived with me for a few months and I let them use my OS/2 ECS computer. I came home to find that many times they had tried to download malware but it would not run on os2. So that saved my network. |
