Not the OS/2 side and some ranting. You should check out comp.os.os2.advocacy (and its Win counterpart), where most of the really rabid OS/2 users hang out. While the games groups seem to have been hit with mostly clueless Win95 people, on Usenet as a whole the percentages are pretty even. Of course, both sides see the other as a bunch of raving lunatics. All you have to do is ignore any post with the words "roolz", "sucks", "losers" or "sloooooooooow" and you may actually find some useful info. And, of course, nothing beats six months of hands on experience. I myself much prefer debating with NT users. We still disagree on a lot of things, but its mostly because we have different needs. Not so much insult-flinging and pettiness. I see this thread has yet to be posted to alt.fan.q and alt.2600. Derek drk...@ocf.berkeley.edu
