  As long as you have one Windows program, you need to run both
systems. I am therefore asked to choose between Windows and OS/2, or
load both. For me, it is an easy choice, with WfW, VB, and C++ all on
Windows. If OS/2 could run Windows programs directly it would be
another matter, but why pay $159 for Warp, $400 for another 8M of RAM,
and $100 for another 100Mb of hard disc... just to run Windows, the 
same as I am already running it?
