Dan,

Thanks for your steadfast support of this platform.  I see no problem with using 
Windows revenue to fund OS/2 ventures.  Since OS/2 is way ahead of WinXX on 
the technology curve, what you develop in OS/2 today will be what you will 
develop in Windows tomorrow.  Good luck and keep up the good work!
