Introduction post....
« on: August 13, 2024, 04:12:32 pm »
First time posting on this forum though I've been an OS/2 user since 1995. Today I rely on different Linux distros to do most work as platform of choice. I have a rugged laptop that I use for my copy of ArcaOS which I have setup to operate and look as OS/2 Warp once did.

I've been in the email chain and on the Facebook OS/2 groups for a while. In a subsequent post I will put a link out in these forums about establishing an OS/2 Warp Appreciation Day set for October 11th 2024, 30 years since the IBM release of OS/2 Warp 3.0. Folks will get to know me better as my participation here grows with you all.

Thank You and My Regards,

Jason Page

Hello Jason.

You kindly sent me the link for the establishing an OS/2 Warp Appreciation Day set for October 11th 2024 - https://day.os-2.in/

Just for the public to understand better, the idea is for us to define October 11th as the "OS/2 Warp Appreciation Day" and the people signing are the supporters right? It is not that we need to send that somewhere, right?

I like the idea.

Regards

That is correct!

Id consider to also to include a field for the petition of "In what ways was / is OS/2 important to you?"
