    Despite the challenge of keeping old hardware running, OS/2 would probably prefer older hardware. OS/2 has been updated, there's a
    version called eCOmstation and later Arca Noae (sp?) that support
    modern CPUs, USB and more.

    I want to go retro, I think OS/2 would be ideal to run a bbs on. Linux scares me. I know Linux
    is a better choice in the long run, but I am too lazy to run it.

    I would absolutely run it in a vitual machine.

    Retro is cool, reasons I'm interested in the Amiga...

    But to be honest, learning linux will serve you much better moving forward into the future.

    My mac is my 2nd computer. I want to do stuff like even use OS9 for
    classic applications.
    Microsoft does not seem cool to me. Even though I am using MS Edit for
    Mac.
