OEM software usually (if not always) require you to purchase a machine in
order to get it... And what good does your pricing list do? It does not say
it is R1 or R2...

>Now where is OS/2 on this list??

Big deal, I'm not in your area, and I don't buy software from the stores...
Three reasons.
#1: Dumbass salesman.
#2: Stupid price and markup.
#3: Dumbass faux-technician.

What facts are YOU trying to correct? All I'm saying is that M$ don't allow
you to upgrade to W95 OSR2 without having to purchase a machine to go with
it... If you can not look into an mail order or online catalog to find OS/2
software, and just sit there and wait... You'd only have yourself to blame.

It meant just that. Team OS/2.

The site was down due to a hacker attacking the ISP, someone else had picked
up and started to rebuilt the Team OS/2 web site from the ground up.

>but what do you guys actually do,

Promote and Support OS/2, PERIOD.

Go ahead and count the ratio... Either you are pull this out of thin air or
your news server is filtering out all the OS/2 posts.

>Anyway, that  is

Personally, I'd throw it back in your face. You tried to attack me with this
message, while sidestepping the main problem in my message... I guess my
last message hurt your M$ sponsors... Muhahahaha...

Go ahead and check Fidonet OS/2 and OS/2 Hardware echo, and check several
OS/2 mailing list and news groups... *I* and MANY other OS/2 users have been
actively promoting OS/2 AND support any users who might have a technical
question/problem need to be sloved.

IMHO, you are either pretty dang new to this area, or you just can't read
all the OS/2 support and help messages.
