I dunno, IBM's always been hot on OS/2.  Last summer, when I co-oped for them
the rage was OS/2 1.3, which was gonna come in and sweep away all the 
unbelievers.  IBMers have always had a very pro-IBM point of view.  There's
nothing wrong with this (in fact, I think it's one of the reasons why the
company can do such great things), but, at the same time, I don't trust 'em.

I'll start believing in the magic of OS/2 2.0 if it's as hot as Windows 3.0
a year after its release.  I'll develop for it when I can get a C++ compiler
for it, with complete libraries, Petzold's "Programming OS/2", and another
few inches of documentation for $95+plus tax, which is what I've got invested
in Windows development tools.

Mike
