- yeah... overall...
-
- one thing I really do not like is the way it transfers files between
- the HD and floppy drives... such a transfer sucks all the power the
- machine has... even the analog clock stops while it is transferring
- the files... hence the transfers seem to be done with really high priority...
- behaviour I would expect from Windows but not from a genuine 32bit
- OS/2 application...
-
- but then... as you say... it is an 1.00 release... :-)
