Makes one wonder why       it's so expensive...               AI> Not useless at all, always was and still is good for         AI> FTN stuff.

DOS/Win support have been the strong as well as the weak point       of OS/2. And I believe that if IBM had released 2.0 with the UI of 1.3 instead       of delaying it to get the WPS ready, things might have been different. Windows       3.0 would may have been seen as a cheap OS/2 knockoff, who knows? Timing is       everything and MS did beat IBM.              It's all so easy in hindsight, isn'it? :)                     JC                     --- Maximus 3.01        * Origin: ModŠs tm (modestm.ddns.net) Valcourt, Qc (1:249/204)    |
