- Well Bud,
-
- You have fun running an OS that IBM is abondoning in the consumer market. And,
- even though I don't want to become known as a MS only fan, I do appreciate MS

- OS2 was a great product, but IBM is no longer marketing it for the average Joe
- so how long do you think it will be available to you?
