I've tried that.  Other than a few thanks from the people who voice the
same opinions on the network and a pat on the back by my manager, nothing
happened.

It's really ironic, too, that when it appears that IBM is really serious,
no one believes them (us?).  I guess we'll have to wait until 4Q91 when
OS/2 2.0 is released to see if all promises are fulfilled.  Personally, I
can't wait...
