Holy shit! Microsoft actually made something for OS/2? :-)
Maybe someone should convince Bill Gates(that's for any Microsoft
employee's who read this and run OS/2 <g>) that they should team up with
IBM. Microsoft can make the good stuff, like Excel and Word for OS/2, and
IBM can continue making OS/2.

Maybe they run OS/2 at work, and when Bill Gates might come by to see his
loyal lemming's <g> they quit OS/2 and run WINDOWS right away :-)
