- Well, as one of them there slow, satisfied types (drat! I *did* put
- forth the effort to run OS/2 and only deleted it because it doesn't work
- very well for me; gee, I was almost three for three...hmmm, maybe he'll
- accept this: I'm lazy, too!), the reason you're reading about Windows
- this, Windows that, in this group is because it's an .advocacy group. If
- people don't advocate OS/2 versus it's more popular opponent, Windows
- (let me correct your spelling: around these parts, it's Windoze),
- everyone would sit around thinking how happy they were with their choice
- (either one or NT even!) and there would surely be little joy in just
- being happy with what we have!
-

- actually solve problems for people.
