Really?  Too bad.  I enjoy using computers that don't crash.  Thank god 
for the 15 RS6K's we have here at UNM.

For the simpleminded out there (read:  Jordan S. Aaron) RS6K's are minis 
made by IBM, running IBM's AIX.

And hardly a better mini exists these days.

What the hell?  Have you actually been threatened bye OS/2 advocates?  If 
so, I sympathize.  However, your silly rantings really do nothing more 
than make me laugh.

: Just remember what Norman Schartzkopf said during Desert Storm.  "If you

You have very little to do with it.  For the same reason that 3.1 became 
popular (ie: stupid computer illiterates like yourself) Win97 will be 
popular.

Nice ascii art.  You do it under Windows98, "final" (really, this time we 
mean it!) beta?

What is it?  Half a doughnut?
