Were did you get that?  I am running WinNT now, and run 95 on another
machine, and OS/2 on a third (linux also exists on a pitiful 386/40 somewhere
around here..)  I can run 95 apps on NT (most, though not all) I can run
NT apps on 95 (all but the registry & NTFS management stuff)  And I have
yet to find a single Win 3.1 program that I cannot run under 95 - and 
that's with 7 months of testing.  

OS/2 is a great system, and I don't think alot of people here are giving
it it's full creedence.  However, some of your assertions are wrong.

Ok, as a store owner with a catalog like that, I want to know: what's you're 
address.. and realize, 1 page = 2 titles.

    Ooooooo, good one.  I think he was thinking something more along the lines
of what we got, where its more of a 1-2 line blub per app list.  ;)
