- I've begun to see adds for OS/2 computers in some of the
- magazines, so I'm beginning to get hope. Although some of the adds
- I've seen talk about OS/2 servers, I think soon adds will also be
- for basic OS/2 desktop machines.
- Also, now that the PS/Valuepoint machines are out, I've advised
- several friends of mine to buy IBM's, because they come preloaded
- with OS/2 and have great service in all parts of the country. Keep
- in mind, these are people who don't know hardly anything about
- computers, and just want a friendly computer which runs all
- different kind of programs. Of course, they also don't want their
- computer to crash!
