- Mihocka may be a jerk, but to ignore OS/2 does _not_ make him a ceritfiable
- idiot. Remeber, Microsoft is "ignoring" OS/2, so do most "real" programmers.
-
- IBM is betting against the continued success of OS/2, they layed off the
- development teams on OS/2.
-
- It would appear that IBM has handled the OS/2 situation in much the same
- way that Traimiels inc have handled Tos/Gem, why would you think that
- any development that targets OS/2 will be commercially profitable?
-
- By the way have you seen the book _Now that I have OS/2 loaded on My Disk,
- What do I do Now?_.
-
- The real question would be should GEMulator be tested under NT? Do I really
- care about the answer? Would I want to support more Mihocka'isms. NO.
