I have a question for anybody out there who cares? Is this going to
screw with my doublespace drive? I assume OpenDOS will not come with
doublespace but since it's 100% DOS compatable I assume I could still
run my existing doublespace with it, no? I know that it's unlikely
anyone has the answer to that question yet, but I figure I'll ask
it anyways... I don't plan on upgrading to opendos until I've seen
other people confirm that it's as good as it is, although I expect
it will be even better... Expect and hope.

lol. I think that it's the caldera server though. I can't get through on
an HTTP connect right now so I assume that means they're tearing it down
to deal with the load or else (more likely) the load is just too much
right now :-)
