subject: Win95 under os/2 ???

It's 18 Mar 97  00:53:24,
We'll return to Stephane Bessette and Tony Langdon's
discussion of Win95 under os/2 ???
 TL> Well, not until you run out of memory. ;)
 SB> I've never run out of memory since I started using OS/2, over
 SB> two years ago (or is it nearly three years ago?).
I've come close, when the disk was almost full at the time. :-)  (got
warnings about "low swap space". :-) )
 SB> As I said, I haven't played with it much.  My needs have been
 SB> met for the last 2-3 years;  I can do all I need and want to do.  So
 SB> I have little incentive in using that platform.  The only reason why
 SB> I installed Win95 is because I'm getting tired of my friends calling
 SB> me with a Win95 question/problem, and making them describe what they
 SB> see on the screen.  Now I have a much better idea of what Win95 is all
 SB> about, and it makes that process much easier.  Other than that, it
 SB> simply takes up space, much like DOS v6.2 and native Windows 3.1 are
 SB> doing right now.
Unfortunately, it looks as though I may have to run some form of Windows
(95/NT) soon. :-(  There's a few apps whichonly come in those flavours.
I'd like to keep OS/2, but I suspect my major Net machine will get
upgraded to NT 4, and the OS/2 box will become the "specialist services"
box. :-)
Also means I have to dump Linux from the LAN here. :((((((((((((
