Grudging admiration

Had to support a network of Warp PCs back in the early 90s. At a library ('cos the head librarian was swoony over the sales woman and lapped up her client/server..and their app needed OS/2 for the client). Ran horribly, horribly on the cheapo Viglen crap they used to buy. Ran beautifully on the nice Dells (there was a time when Dell gear was known for its build quality). I still miss it.

I have tried and failed miserably to get Warp to run on VirtualBox on Windows 7. It never gets past booting from the first floppy image. I think it must be karma.
