- Yup :( I know the feeling. Although I like OS/2, I'm getting tired
- of explaining the contradictions and false & unfair statements
- in the rags to people here. Heck, I thought the press was becoming
- more positive about OS/2 until I read the Windows Vs OS/2 article
- in pc-mag. :(
-
- The free betas and the inexpensive $15 CDs are great, but word
- of mouth will go just so far. Ultimately IBM has to do its own decent
- advertising. That t.v. commerical...eh well everyone knows how
- bad it is, no sense bringing up that issue again.
- BTW IHMO,
- the Apple commericals did a nice job of putting down Windows :).
-
- On another note, midterm season is finally over here. whew!
- Now its research paper season :(
- LOGOFF
- OK
