:>Whatever you do, don't buy an ATI video card of any type.  I have

	Well, I have the ATI Graphics Expression (ISA 2meg RAM), and
have had NO trouble with it whatsoever.  I would heartily reccommend this 
card to ANY OS/2 user.  YMMV, of course.

	Also, Mr. Roumeliotis, read and take seriously any post from
Roderick Smith.  He was very helpfull to me when I was moving to Warp last 
December, and he seems to really keep up on the hardware end of things OS/2 
wise.  Trustworthy, IMHO.

	Sincerely,
	Jimmie Farmer
