OK, why?  Why use it at all?  You have made various claims, most in this
particular thread, relating to the instability of the platform, the 
out-dated Toolkit, the quality of IBM's drivers on their own brand of 
equipment, the quality of the file system, and yet, you still program 
for it, are attending seminars about DB/2 and still hang around in an 
OS/2 applications newsgroup.  I don't get it.

While I haven't met an operating system that did not have _some_ "fault"
I did not like about it, I have dropped products for far less than most 
of the things you complain about.  In fact, I would even update my 
resume and find something else, if it were an integral part of my job 
and I felt the way you come across as feeling about it.
