Greetings, Tony...
 Tony Langdon hastily said to Bob Wright:
 BW>> Well, lemme see here... from personal experience:
 BW>> a) because it's easy to install.
 TL> True, though easier usually means "less flexible".
However, it DID work.  I wasn't overly concerned with "flexible" at that 
point, since my knowledge of OS/2 was minimal, and I really didn't want to 
mess around a lot.. (That was then, mind you, and this is now... )
 BW>> b) if you've only got ONE hard drive, DOS is already installed, along
 TL> True, though you could use Partition Magic, if you have enough space to
 TL> dedicate to a separate OS/2 partition.  It's worth having a copy of PM
 TL> around anyway, brilliant program! :-)
Agreed... however, the average new user doesn't necessarily know this.  I 
still don't have it, either, but I've managed to survive..
 BW>> c) if (B) and you don't have a tape drive for use in creating a full
 BW>> drive backup.
 TL> I have plenty of network drive space for that, as well as access to
 TL> a CD burner. 
Lucky you... ;)
