On the 12th Edition of Devcon, IBM included a sample CD of Warp 4. This version does not
have Win-OS2 support but other OS/2 functionality is present.

IBM had a policy with OS/2 distribution that permitted IBMers to install OS/2 on any PC as long as the disks/cdrom was not left with the customer.

Check the auction sites, you could still pick up a full version of OS/2 pennies?

Germany is still a strong OS/2 user base.

I had a quick look on ebid.co.uk
not much there

also i dont let second hand cd`s most of the time they dont work (i had experience with some not os/2)

and as for disk`s I dont like them at all
they always get bad blocks

a disk without bad blocks is like a Donut shop without cop`s

when it comes down to it
i would rather download it off the internet

I found it new from ibm
they are asking $250 for warp4

I have been told its a good os but its way out of my price range

its more expensive than Windows ME
and it has less programs for it

again if i could find it for £5 on a auction site its still a bit dodgie i could send cash and get nothing or recive and bust cd
