Old trackball won't work on modern laptops

Some are going to be SATA as well... in fact, I believe that Plextor was one of the first companies to release SATA DVD/CD burners.

Keep the OS/2 machine around for whatever you need it for, spend $250 on a bare-bones PC and install Linux?

I'll ship you one for free if you'd like, Joerg! :-) Just e-mail me your address...

There's nothing wrong with keeping to the technology you already have and enjoy, although I would suggest that sometimes you may not appreciate newer technology until you've actually sat down and used it for awhile. There is a perceptible, positive difference between, e.g., a 1080p big-screen TV and your 25" analog clunker, while I'd buy that heating your office with wood is perhaps actually a little nicer than heating with electricity or gas.

I'm told that what most people consider the "better" sound of tubes is what we engineers generally refer to as "distortion." :-)

the timer (0x40:0x1c) is typically well emulated, code that uses timing loops, however, will fail miserably as processors are now 1000 times faster than they were in the 80s

what software is giving you grief?

Interesting, but I didn't notice that point being addressed.

windows->linux It specifically mentions other OSses like BSD etc Also 'convert into' is the vaguest formulation of what it does I have seen so far. I think one can say it is pretty much a windows clone using Unix for the IO. (Now somebody will argue with ta). So let's refer to the description on their site.

Don't remember. As much as I do remember it was WDF filter design routines from Texas Instruments. But AFAIR I found a "fix" on the web to recompile in a way that the main program didn't use fixed timing intervals anymore and that made it work. With the Mildenberger WDF program I still have the issue that some warnings show up for about

Thanks, Joel. But we wouldn't use it at all :-)

True, but we only watch the evening news. And even those only up to the weather forecast. TV doesn't mean much for us.

No rushing air, much healthier IMHO.

The primary heat source doesn't make a difference to the helthiness of room climate. Those European-style water-heated radiators make a nice heating, no matter how the water gets hot (I'm saying European-style because all I've ever seen in the US were those AC ducts used for both heating and cooling - quite unpleasant, actually).

Linux also contains dosemu, that is probably better at running old DOS software then Wine. At least you will have less overhead, and an easier time debuggin.
