About this listen

I've hit 5,000 subscribers, and what better way to celebrate than to install an old operating system on a lumbering battlestation? In a past video I said I'd install IBM's OS/2 on the PS/2 Model 80 386, and now we're doing it. How well does it run? Will I learn to love the Workplace Shell? I'm also giving a big channel update about ongoing projects and some of my thoughts about the vintage / retro / whatever scene. How well does OS/2 run on this massive 386? You'll have to watch to find out.
