I must be one of the few who never used 0S/2 and so never did those updates. I was using the Amiga 2000b with a accelerator board holding a 68060 at 50 Mega-Hertz and 64 Megabytes of ram. I got TCP/IP running via a software called Miami from a guy who later went to work for a Northern California company and gave up on selling stuff to pirates, I had a 56K Modem as well as all those intermediate to the 2400 baud modem. Some were given to me by people who moved on earlier to a DSL, etc, > > And 58K was the fastest it would ever be. The experts told us the phone line > just could not support any greater rate.

It was the technicians and scientists working together that got us to multiple core CPUs in laptops that merely sip at power I remember continuous arguments over whether the x86s would ever get fast enough to emulate the Amiga. I watched demos of the original Amiga emulation on a JIT compiler on a 500 Mega-Hertz Pentium laptop at a AWest Convention about 2000. But since the company was a nuisance to the investor the threw it away, If he had stuck it out I might never have tried Linux. Good night bliss
