:>Why prolong the agony?
:>Just get Windows 95, you'll be glad in the long run.
:>Why you ask?  Because all major software is being 
:>developed for Win95;  Where's Office for OS/2?
:>Besides, you won't have a choice!  I mean, why 
:>have an operating system with NO support (ie, MAC OS, OS/2)
:>no Hardware support (OS/2), and no software support
:>(all Non-win OS's).  
:>
:>Besides, we all know that OS/2 and the MAC suck, 
:>What was apple thinking when making the MAC OS?
:>That we should always use the mouse?  There are hardly
:>any keyboard equivalents for using menus.  Apple must
:>think we love using the mouse every 5 seconds;  and 
:>with no 32-bit OS, the MAC sucks even more.
:>And to think, MAC freaks think that MS copied the
:>Apple interface when making Win95......sorry, 
:>BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! NOT!!

:>But don't stop there, look at OS/2.  complex beast,
:>one with no software and hardware support.

:>So there's little doubt who'll win the OS Wars.
:>Windows 95, where do you want to go today?

Hmmmm...you know, you're absolutely right.  All of us can't
thank you enough for taking the time to visit...to think we've
wasted all these years using OS/2 or the Mac is mortifying.

Be sure to let Redmond know you've just converted 25 million users.
I'm sure they'll put your picture on Plus! Pack...maybe even BoB!!

I have to totally agree.  The person who wrote this thread must be 
laughing his ass off.  Just by looking at how the person wrote the post 
shows that he received everything that he wanted: to get a bunch of fools 
to waste bandwidth by replying to this dribble.  Well what the hell.  If 
you can find a fool to write a silly post than you can find some fools to 
respond...

And furthermore, everyone that continues posting stuff like THIS, si getting him more 
attention, so lets stop here!  Although I TOTALLY agree with him, I bought OS 2/2.1 and 
couldn't get my sound card or CD rom drive or Modem, which are on non-standard IRQ's to 
work......  Win95 was easy....PLUG, and PLAY!
