It's not so much the OS I'm worried about, as the drivers and
upgrades on IBM's ftp site. While there are versions for OS/2, I'm
curious as to whether they were written for v 3 or 4, or if they're
interchangeable.

Doubt I'll be using it that long, unless I'm incredibly impressed
;-)

The back-up system has 16MB RAM, so I'm okay on that score.

The diskette package with the Online accessories and Works for
OS/2.
This will all be going down next Wednesday, most likely. In the
mean time, isn't there a web page specifically about putting Warp on
various ThinkPads, similar to the linux-laptop page? And are there any
recommended sites for shareware for Warp? My most commonly used
software aside from Works is Netscape Composer, Agent, CuteFTP, and
Paint Shop Pro. If I could get pointers to equivalents to these for
Warp, that would be a good start. Or is there a good newsgroup for
lurking/learning this stuff?
