 Subj: 32-bit OS/2 PC Mag articl     Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 Ray, I just read your article on 32-bit OS/2 in the v.9 no. 10 issue of 
 PC Mag.  To begin with, an excellent article -- as always!  But what's 
 noteworthy about my reaction is this: after a couple of years of 
 <ho-hum, who needs this crap> reactions to OS-2 & PM, finally there's 
 something there that maybe makes sense!  Now that more machines are 
 getting the resources (and the _hefty_ resources required certainly 
 contribute to my <ho-hum> feelings) to run it, at last it can do a 
 number of things that maybe you might just want.  Being able to both run
 OS/2 applications, and also multi-task existing DOS applications, does 
 indeed sound like something worth while.

 Also seems to reinforce the idea that they should never have wasted 
 their time writing an OS/2 for the 286 anyway, but should rather have 
 cut straight to the 386 world.  We'd then be easily 2 years ahead of 
 where we are now.
