- What is the hangup with having what has to be the best OS/2 site in
- the world at New Mexico State University? Does it really matter _who_
- provides the ftp site? All I care about is the software -- if I can
- get it, I really don't care where it comes from.
-
- Just to editorialize a bit, there is now no better site _anywhere_
- (save perhaps for the OS/2 Shareware BBS) than ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. It
- is one heck of a repository for OS/2 software now, thanks to a lot of
- continuing volunteer effort. Why argue with success? We have an
- outstanding archive on the Internet -- why should IBM have to step in?
- I agree with the first response.
