Warp3 made a big splash in Canada.  IBM offered it free for the asking
before the big commercial release.  It was only $40 without the physical
manuals.  Many of the bigbox tech stores carried it.  It did a great job
migrating Win3.1 apps and running them concurrently with OS/2 apps quite
well.  It was a neat experience to witness this smooth operation.  The Warp
commercials did a pretty good job in spreading the job, but it failed to
convince Win3.1 people WHY they need OS/2.

Makes sense to devote your time and energy to Leopard!  The info in the
Ubuntu forums is great.   I am sure to seek and find answers there.  Thanks
for the initial and brief heads-up on the merits of Ubuntu/Mepis.  I would
not have been motivated to give them a serious try if you didn't speak up.
