- Depends on what you do for a living I suppose. In my line all I hear is the
- bad for the most part, and considering I have more OS/2 stations out there
- than 95 stations and considering I hardly ever hear of problems with OS/2
- (except for user errors) and I get LOTS of problems with 95 (that mostly are
- not user errors) I see this as the norm. I have quite a few Peachtree 3.0
- for windows users who are now considering going to OS/2 because their
- software no longer will run with the top line MS OS.
