- On June 2nd, I ordered the Os/2 Workset and Technical Library from IBM
- Canada (and my credit card was charged for them!)
-
- On July 21st I ordered the NT development kit CD from Microsoft
- Canada.
-
- Anybody want to guess which one arrived today and which one I'm STILL
- waiting for? Maybe I should interpret this as an omen about which
- system I should be developing for...
-
- I've been an OS/2 user and developer since 1.0, but IBM's continuing
- screw-ups in production and marketting are beginning to make me think
- I'm backing a loser.
