I haven't laughed at so much from a TEAMER in weeks until I read

And I am here wondering if IBM ever fixed the problem with MMOS/2 that
I noticed in WARP of the SB16 not wroking properly as one used various
programs.

The facts are that no one uses OS/2 on the desktop except a few "I
hate Microsoft types!" .
A business could fail if they devoted any heavy duty development to
OS/2. IBM themselves are cutting back in trying to promote OS/2  to
the mass market as seen by recent speechs by Lou G and others. What
person is going to develope a GAME from a business server where IBm is
trying to reposition the product?

This Teamer is definitely a patient for Prosaic as Aug 24 and W95
nears.
And he concludes with these WARPED figures.

Ha HA

OS/2-> only half an PC OS the Windows 95 compatible part is missing

Do you know someone who is WARPED?
WARP:
  1. to distort or cause to distort so as to lose truth or objectivity.  
  2. a mental twist,  bias or quirk.  
  3. to distort a person's judgement or principals.  - Oxford American Dictionary
