I assume you meant to edit the newsgroup line to comp.sys.ibm.pc.I-don't-
have-a-personality-I-am-a-work-drone, instead of the numerous game
newsgroups, filled with wacky people to whom playing games is actually quite
important, not to mention fun. 

Hey, we all make mistakes, even you more-serious-and-anal-retentive-than-thou
types.

ps Just to add a modicum of signal to the original thread, I have found that
os2 is indeed a nice operating system with some advantages, esp. for business
users. Dos and Windows stuff seems to run uniformly slower, however. Since
stability has never been a problem for me (windows on my Micron PowerMag
is VERY stable), speed IS one of my primary concerns. I have stayed with
DOS/Windows because of this, and will no doubt try windoze '95 in the
near future. And Yes, largely for GAMES. *shudder* ...the horror..the horror.
