- I am setup similarly. I wish OS2 would provide more non-scsi

- I think I will stick out the OS2 platform for now to see how

- I love being able to access the encyclopedia and other reference

- I wish I could get the clipboard to behave better so that I could

- YEAH

- I also like being able to run communications while doing other things.

- BOTTOM LINE
- -----------
- I am already hooked into the advantages of using OS2. I will stick
- it out until something better comes along. I sure hope its the
- next version of OS2.
