huh?  What inacuracy were you hinting at?  I have
heard nothing from you regarding anything I have said
about OS/2.  Would you care to discuss the merits of
some of OS/2's features?  I think I am familiar with
OS/2.  I was a co developer of products for OS/2, and
I have worked with Version 1.0 till MCP/ECS (current).
 I think I can safely state I have over 12 years of
experience running and programming in an os2
environment.  In that same time I have used almost all
versions of intel Unix as well as all the Windows
products.  What is it you would like to discuss?

BTW I think the USA/Microsoft comparison is very
germain to this forum.  The comparisons are extreamly
close, and to the point.  Some you Americans may not
like the image you present to the rest of the world,
but they are factual and the proof is in the USA'a
actions. Some of you are now beginning to see the
uglyness that is plain to see outside of the American
bubble.  The USA'a actions in global negotiations are
very similar to Microsofts actions.  Its no wonder the
current admin will let Microsoft go with a wrist slap.

For some of you American knee jerkers, the image you
see in the mirror isn't so good any more is it?  Even
here in Canada the distain is more apparent now that
America has lost any vestige of honour they once might
have had.  

And Canada is Americas best friend on the globe.  It
makes you wonder what the rest of the globe thinks.
