Mainly because there are a few DOS programs I kinda want to have access
to (Borland Pascal and a few games, mainly).  I think I *am* done with
OS/2 though.

Two years ago I bought another hard drive for it intending to install
Linux on the second one, but it didn't come with the proper enclosure to
fit the computer and I can't figure out where to get it.  It's an IBM
ThinkPad and I've asked quite a few people (some from IBM) and they have
no idea...  It *is* the right HD though.

In any case, I am looking at getting another laptop, but it probably
won't happen until spring or so.  The next one will be PURE Linux!

Thanks, I could look into that.  There's also another ssh that the
windows weenies here use, but I dunno if you can get it for 3.1.  Then
there's the problem of securely transfering files, and the DOS system
adding newlines to the CRs.  Uuugh.

we'll see what happens.
