- Of course, all this discussion about leaving OS/2 running is academic if you
- are using a true-blue PS/2.

- We were using a 95 as a server and every few months the display adapter would
- just stop working until we power-cycled it. We complained to IBM hardware

- Buy an Industrial Computer instead'. Our account manager was not pleased, but
- the advice still stands.
