Oh -- one of _those_ guys. [:)

I mentioned elsewhere to someone that I'd loaned my Warp 3 to a friend. 
He bought this computer and I was using OS/2 at the time and he heard me 
ragging about Windoof and said that he wanted to try the OS/2 so I told 
him that I would loan him my Warp 3 since I wasn't using it. (::deep 
breath::) So he bought his computer sans O/S and installed it.

t installed very cleanly although he did have to reinstall it a couple 
of times to get things the way he wanted. (Actually, I think we may have 
had some trouble with his sound card or something.) At first, nothing 
but compliments about how well his machine ran with OS/2.

Then the complaints started. "I can't run this." "I can't run that."

"Why can't I run Adobe?" Because it's Windows software. You don't expect 
OS/2 software to run under Windows, why would you expect Windows 
software to run under OS/2? "Why can't I run Doom? It's DOS!" You can 
run Doom, you just need to tweak it a bit. OS/2 is far more user-
configurable than Windows. Look at Duke Nukem -- it runs fine! "OS/2 
won't read this web site!" No... _Netscape_ won't read this website. 
That has nothing to do with OS/2. "OS/2 won't let me listen to this *.AU 
file!!" No, again this has nothing to do with OS/2. "But there isn't a 
RealPlayer for OS/2! OS/2 sucks!!" OS/2 sucks because RealPlayer doesn't 
have OS/2 software? RealPlayer tells you that as an OS/2 user you are 
not important so you blame OS/2?

So then he comes up with an idea. He figgers he needs to get some 
experience with other operating systems. [;))) He's going to install 
Linux and SCO and Win'95 all on the same machine. Yeah, sure, buddy. In 
goes the Win'95, out goes the OS/2. It's two computers later and he's 
running Win'98 and there's still no sign of a Linux install in the 
works!! [;D

I've been hearing about it ever since, though. "Hey, Ian. I'm sending 
you this *.AU file. Ohhhhh -- you can't listen to those, can you!?" Or, 
"What happened -- Netscape lock your OS/2 solid again?"


The utility's on the way. Take care and TTYL.
