I just want to summarize this whole mess into : It's a damn shame!

Let's take a look back:  OS/2 Unleashed (1st Ed.) was released...
				I bought it.
			 The 2nd Ed. came out for....bought that too!
			 The same for the 3rd Edition.

OS/2 Prof. magazine was subscribed to and i even bought all of the 
early Back Issues (but they wouldn't sell me a copy of Vol. 0 Num. 1)!

OS/2 Magazine was published and I subscribed...

Hell, I even bouth a copy of the book about "Warp Connect, Power PC Edition"!

There are TWO ways to look at where this is leading...

Either:

     1) I'm smart/rich/crazy enough to buy anything PRINTED that 
	has to do with OS/2.
or:

     2) Anything I buy about OS/2 ends up vanishing into thin air!

Why is it that OS/2 is getting such a bad rap these days?  I think that
it has at least as much market share as the Apple Macintosh and yet those
folks are doing just fine! (It really depends on what Apple plans on 
doing with it's business....not a topic for an OS/2 group ;-)

I wish that IBM would WAKE UP and see that they have a very good product.
Just put some reasonable marketing efforts behind it....

   Like:  The Power Users Platform for folks that don't want to learn UNIX!

All flames to /dev/nul
