You should learn to look beyond >your tiny realm of mind too. Buy a clue yourself. Don't forget to subtract all the people like me from the total OS/2 Warp sales. A year ago I bought Warp, it ran abysmally, ruined my windows system files, thrashed the HD for simple tasks like moving the mouse, froze every half hour or so, and ran windows 3.1 programs like they were being emulated on a C64 (forget about MIDI!). I removed Warp after two months of trying to make it work, but it made changes to Windows which haunt that HD partition to this day. Now I've bought a new 1.28 gig HD, installed W95 fresh on a partition, and Warp on it's own. I can't for the life of me think of any reason to boot into Warp, though, except for the novelty. On a virgin install with no apps added, it still freezes up. 95 runs Windows programs with better realtime performance, and I can't find one single OS/2 program for my needs that doesn't have a better counterpart under Windows. <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> John P Sheehy <jsh...@ix.netcom.com> ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> <>>< ><<> ><<> <>><
