- That's a rather difficult question to answer if 50 words or less.
-
- As a start I would suggest reading the OS/2 Frequently Asked Questions
- List to get a feel for what OS/2 can do. I would also follow the
- various OS/2 newsgroups, bearing in mind that people (for the most
- part) only post when they have problems. (A lot of tips and
- techniques are traded, however, and you might find those useful.)
-
- Then I'd just get the darn thing. You do have a 30 day money back
- guarantee -- no questions asked -- if you get it from IBM. Set aside
- a Saturday and, after you've done your homework, give it a spin.
-
- Another way to find out what OS/2 is all about is to find a friend or
- coworker who has it installed. Then give it a spin.
