- Ok Mr. Canadian Super OS/2 Guy, Tell you what...
- Save my email address for two years and then tell me what OS your running.
- My guess is it will come from Microsoft and I bet that OS/2 Apps will go the
- way of CPM, Commodore, Atari, Mac Etc Etc.
-
- I will not knock Warp because i have used it myself before I switched over to
- the OS that is used by the real world. But let's face the music. The only
- place you can get OS/2 Apps these days are from Indelible Blue and the OS/2 BBS.
- We will see.....
-
- No, dont email me now...2 years remember
- In 2 years you will be emailing me from Win97 or the like.
