no i don't!
!!BLUSH!!  i MEANT i agreed with Dave Haynie's opinion; good thing i was
humble that time!!!!

i'm one of those who hate OS/2 even without having used it, but the
gentleman who said he could use all 16M without buying the other 12M had
a good point, i must admit.

i checked real carefully, and i am fairly sure i mean what is written in
this and the previous paragraph.  up there with all the ">>>" stuff i'm
not so sure, every time i check it comes out different.
