   Hej, (I forgot the Swedish word for morning, but I'll take a refresher

   What version of Windows are you using on your OS/2 machine?  (-:

   That's good.

   No matter what it was referred as, any computer with contiguous memory would   
   have been a success, at least with me, but I'm only one person.  When I was   
   president of our local computer club, I had a friend bring his Amiga in for a   
   demo to the rest of those who showed up and I can tell you I was impressd from   
   the outset.

   I didn't know about those, but I was considering getting an Amiga until some   
   computer programmer friends of mine talked me out of it.  I did manage to   
   convert an Amiga BASIC program so it would run on an IBM compatible.

   Maybe so, but we'll never know.
