    No, but I'm imagining an OS with such a small user base that everyone' on a first-name basis.

    I mean, pretty much. :-D

    I suppose that's called OS/2. :)

    You leave me and Dale and Martha outta this!

    Team OS/2!

    Was still better than an OS that was out in the 90s. Used it for years.

    ... It's on that one, the 6th unlabeled floppy.

    On my BBS machine, I have Linux Mint installed with the Xfce GUI environment. Currently I'm using an OS/2 style for the window manager for a retro vibe. :)

    years.

    I jest so. I was a huge OS/2 fan in the '90s. Started out running 1.3
    in an environment with AS/400s, a netware network and MS LAN MAN
    servers. I had copies of Word and Excel for OS/2. Ran a dial-up WAN
    with 16 modems on a 386. Later used OS/2 as my desktop when I managed
    Novell networks and needed lots of DOS windows for administration
    tools. A better DOS than DOS, indeed.

    Inherited a LANTastic network from work that only worked on DOS, so I
    ran the DOS drivers on the BBS, then created a MS-DOS VDM with the
    LANtastic drivers for my first home network. Later, collapsed
    everything (desktop and BBS) into a single box running OS/2 Warp.
