Nah, I just bent a little, that's all.  Mind you, I didn't pay for it, but
as I already own both the 2.1 and 2.11 GA blue-boxes now, I didn't feel too
bad about installing Chris' copy of Warp.  I don't miss the Win-OS/2
support at all, and the odd Winapp I run works just fine under Warp anyway
(marginally slower though).

Well, it's been five days now, and I wouldn't change back to 2.11 for
quids.  At one stage, I had 32 different monster apps open, and the system
still ran very sweetly indeed.  Monitoring the free RAM and swapfile size
has convinced me that IBM may have finally solved their ongoing problems
with memory deallocation in earlier releases.

I also heard from an unconfirmed source that unlike earlier versions, IBM
may well have an upgrade price for existing blue-box users, although whilst
this would be very nice, I won't be holding my breath.

Regards, Bill
