- Speaking of incompetent and poorly written...
- Has anyone else but myself read the trial issue of INSIDE OS/2, offered with
- your OS/2 package? Actually, the question is: Has anyone else been insulted
- and astonished by the utter awfulness of this publication? 8 pages of drivel,
- all available in the OS/2 manuals and on-line help. Vague, to the point of
- misleading, and in a few small cases, simply WRONG! I suppose that for someone
- who has never touched a PC before, it could be tangentially useful... (But how
- many first-time PC owners are running OS/2?)
-
- Go figure.
