My BBS machine is OS/2. Don't judge a book by it's cover. And ESPECIALLY
never an opponent. Just because I chose to defend Windows doesn't mean I'm
a die hard Win user.

Ok, lets just take a minute to analyse the possibility of NET USE rather
than SUBST.
Go over to one of your precious babies (preferably a 486), apologise to it,
and extract all buy 8 meg RAM, and it's HDD. Install a spare HDD and install
a fresh copy of Warp (so there are no fixpacks or excess device drivers in
the way), and include Peer and TCP/IP. When it finishes rebooting in a week,
come back and tell me just why I shouldn't expect a simple SUBST to be
included when the bloatware networking support absorbs all the resources the
486 has.
 DS> Your idiotic statements are really growing tiresome
At least I can see past the end of my nose.
 DS> My 12 year old  son has more on the ball than you do
Your son is on your side. I wonder why your opinion is as it is?
 DS> If you want to promote your support for Windows, that's fine
I'm not promoting it. I'm defending it. Believe me, nothing would make me
happier than being able to use OS2. But I've used OS2 for a while, and quite
frankly, the apps suck! Sure, they might be stable, but they are crap! If
a word processor is 10 disks, I want my 10 disks worth of features. Something
OS2 software can't give me.
OS2 has it's place for me. It runs my BBS. And it does it nicely - it sits in
the corner, gathering dust, while I conduct my usual business on something
that gives me the features I want. Not the features that look good on
paper.
 DS> But if your going to knock another> operating system, for heavens sake
 DS> try to know what you're talking about
I could say the same for you. Most of my arguements are no knocking OS2, I
am knocking the support it has and the way IBM let a great OS sit idle and
not promote it.
 DS> you're like a fish in a barrel, and there's no sport in baiting you. 
 DS> Try to be game! 
Try to know your opponent. You see only what you want to see, and you failed
to grasp the concept that I am neutral. I can be persuaded either way on an
argument as long as you can prove to me that something actually matters.
