Afraid I'm one of the "if she ain't broke" brigade.  I have a very 
stable system with no fixpacks so I won't be applying any unless its 
absoklutely necessary. 
 
Also the good news is that Netscape Beta 1a runs great on my system 
of Warp with no fixpacks. _Much_ quicker than WebEx.

I havent got multimedia installed mainly because I've found Video 
for Windows and quicktime run great under win-os2, certainly 
better than OS/2's multimedia. I don't need sound in OS/2 only 
in DOS and WIN-OS2 and for those MMOS2 doesn't need to be installed.

Don't know about that, WebEx 1.1e ran without problems here, albeit 
a little slow at times.

Possibly but I don't know for sure.
