Vic, I usually enjoy watching NT and Win 95 .adv people and their creative OS/2
bashing and even Unix and Mac bashing, but you sir are quite pathetic, I mean,
come on, some new material please Vic?  These are the only three things you
can come up with and post again and again for months at a time? :

I think this one is about 5 months old:
Do youu know the difference between one of the WARPPED blue cult and a used car salesman?
The used car salesman knows he's lying.

This one maybe only 2:
Here's a rather surprising statement from, of all people,
the IBM Personal Computer Company, regarding Warp vs. NT
on their PentiumPro boxes (which are equipped with a special
version of SelectaSystem, allowing you to choose between Warp and NT):
"At this time, because of the 16-bit code still present in OS/2 Warp, we
recommend that users run WINDOWS NT WORKSTATION instead of OS/2 Warp if
performance is paramount."


And of course this one, which I've seen almost from day one of Vic's intoxicating
visits:
Do you know someone who is WARPED?
WARP:
  1. to distort or cause to distort so as to lose truth or objectivity.
  2. a mental twist,  bias or quirk.
  3. to distort a person's judgement or principles.  - Oxford American Dictionary


At least Vic, read a book, perhaps even have an original idea once in a while.  Like
maybe you could try to find something about WARP tht you can't read in a news
group, like if you used it, you might find a bug that none of us knows about and
could make it public.  But alas, you've never installed it, so I guess I get to hear
about OS/2 problems about 20 messages ater I read them from the original poster.

Just trying to help ya out Vic.
