I'm looking to start from a base where I know I have the
latest fixes for all components.  At the moment, the multimedia
apps that came with Warp seems to be broken, I'm not really sure
why but I think a fixpack broke them.  I am also looking to using
USB devices, in particular a video conference camera, and I am
hoping that USB support has been integrated into the Aurora release,
instead of the ones currently provided in the online DDPK.
I've also updated my OpenGL to try to fix a problem with EscapeGL
with some of modules.  I just want to be sure that I've applied the
correct updates and I have done them correctly.  I wish a one Fixpack
would be released the encompasses all fixes including MPTS, TCP/IP, OpenGL
etc.

I guess the other reason why I am looking at Aurora as a client 
is that I am finding more and more reasons to not use OS/2.  
I've been using it since 1992 and would like to prolong it, since
its still better than the alternative.

Cheers,
Randy
