- I wished I could do that at my place. I love my installation of OS/2 2.0
- but honestly I would not recommend it - at THIS time - to a good friend,
- except he/she is fond of messing with the system. Fact is that the average
- user has a right to do his/her business without being interrupted by system
- problems and optimizations. We who have OS/2 installed are probably
- something like pioneers and we like it. But a system problem, say, every
- week is too much to ask from others to endure.
-
- Having said that it strikes me that the average user has also another
- feature: he/she does not run multiple applications at the same time, or at
- least not any critical applications. So he/she is not that likely to have
- that much of a problem to start with. But anyway, I am waiting for the
- next version, 2.001 or whatever it is called, before I would advertise
- aggressively. Sorry, just like you have a naughty child that you love a lot
- but you wait for the time that it behaves well before you praise it in
- public...
