Hi, John -
Pleasant surprise to encounter you here.
JA>  Windows has DISADVANTAGES (All of them are NOT Listed here):
[verities omitted]
I'll bet you don't get much argument from this conference.  Certainly
not from me!
JA>  ... but people are "Forced" to use Windows because the Programs
  >they want to use, UNFORTUNATELY, are Only Windows Based.
To me, a growing and potentially greater problem is that nearly all new
CD-ROM's require Windows to run.  For the moment at least, most allow
use of Windows 3.1; but I fear that concession will pass rather quickly.
This means that even if you have satisfactory OS/2 software for all your
regular applications, you will still have to have some form of Windows
to make use CD-ROM resources.
Am I the only one that this worries?
Jack P.
