Welcome to IWETHEY!

New OS/2 is Old!
Dumped it (well - sort of) a couple of years ago. My two former OS/2 computers (my two main computers) now run ArcaOS - the 2017 update from OS/2.

Only problem I have, the running version of Firefox is pretty long in the tooth, I couldn't get the Firefox beta to run (thought other people have). Firefox development has pretty much stopped, and the promised Falkon browser (in active development) isn't quite finished yet. Porting all the libraries from Linux has been the problem.
