Well, it is official.  The sky is still falling.  Initial reports of
this unusual phenomena started pouring in to these news offices at about
the time of the release of OS/2 2.0.  Since that time the sky has
continued to fall dramatically, on a regular basis.

We recommend that OS/2 users who are not used to this phenomena move
immediately to shelters, safely away from their modems, until this
latest wave subsides.

On a more serious note, there appears now to be some significant
disagreement over what may or may not have happened regarding the
meeting with IBM and Stardock.  IBM has not said there will never be a
new client.  Some have said the meeting never took place.

Meanwhile I am enjoying the preparations for the very sunny day
when I receive my new SMP machine to go with my brand-new OS/2 client
software (OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business).

Oh happy day!

Rob.
