I can see why you are miffed about it all, after all OS/2 is 
supposed to have this you-beaut crash protection system, and was 
to be better than Win 3.1.

However, I'm still convinced that OS/2 is the way for me 
personally, unlike the rest of the co that I work for, which seem 
to be heavily into Windows, but they have their opinions, and I 
have mine.

From what I can gather, you write applications for a living (call 
that living  ??), but I have the easier(?) part - I use 
applications. You use compilers, I would not know a compiler if 
it bit me on the backside !! C is a letter in the alphabet as far 
as I'm concerned (that I hope to change soon !!)

Fundamental difference in the way we use our PC's Paul, and I'd 
reckon you would have a problem no matter what platform you were 
running - there is always a bug out there somewhere.....
