May I make an observation?

I don't know any PC user who always runs Windows. *They* say: It's too slow,
requires too much memory and since there are only a few programs supporting
it it has no real benefit.
On the prices:
I know of some Mac Clones which come *without* the Mac OS which are less than
1/2 the price of an equally equipped Apple Mac. This is far less than a
MS-Dos Machine and quite compareable as well, 'cause MSDOS is really *no*
Operation System. Ever tried to do UNIX (an Operation System) on a PC?
That costs tremendous amounts of money... (including hours and hours of work to
get all these stupid grafix to work).

BTW:
Why is OS/2 called OS/2? Cause it wants to be *an* Operating System when
grown up. :-)

have fun, and happy hack to the *normal* PC *User*.

Oliver

PS.
This was the first and the last time I ever took part of such a silly thing
as a war.
