- Robert:
-
- I agree with you so very much. I could almost (but don't) cry.
-
- I wrote a letter to John Akers (3.5 pages with 38 pages of supporting
- documentation). Basically, it talks about OS/2 Marketing and Advertising.
-
- One of its suggestions was to increase IBM developed OS/2 application
- advertisign. These applications can show off the abilities OS/2 have in
- important areas like multitasking, workplace shell, SOM, threading, support,
- etc.
-
- People look for more than one example or voice. By giving a voice to IBM's
- really outstanding OS/2 applications (e.g. TCP/IP for OS/2 1.2.1) it gives
- backing to OS/2.
-
- Isn't this what you are discussing?
-
- A personal moto : Don't like <.....> be a stealth product!
