I used to read newsgroups in the late 80's, but with all the spam and crap, I
don't anymore.

Sorry if I seemed mad or insulting.  Didn't mean it to come out that way if it 
did.   It's just that everyone and their brother seems to be jumping on the 
Linux wagon (personally, I like UNIX, but that's another sadomasochistic story 
:).  OS/2 is only as dead as we, the users, let it be.

Later,
Sean
