Could it be that I am forced to use 95 at work and M$ keeps changing file
formats with every new version?  I cann't use my OS/2 software without
deleting the "new" features in 95 products.  BTW, the quality of the
software doesn't prove the quality of the OS.  It is economics, the OS
with the greatest business prescence has the most software.  The Mac had
the best software and OS early in the game, bad marketing killed Mac(as it
is trying hard to kill OS/2) so now Mac software is behind the curve.

Besides, how bad does DB2/2 leak resources?  Each version of Access leaks
worse than the previous(I have been using Access since ver 2.0, now using
Access97).  Even Pdox for 95 leaks.  As does Visual Foxpro.  And Excell97. 
Word97 has it's own set of little quirks, granted most home(and business)
users don't use the buggy "features."

Go to CompUSA, they seem to be restocking the selfs(that's plural) for
OS/2.  Since OS/2 sits between Win95 upgrade(not to SR2 which is supposed
to be OEM only) and Linux(which doesn't seem to be selling).  They even
have have prices listed to install Win95 or OS/2.

When all else fails read the directions:
Psalms 119:105 Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my
path.

Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and
reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:
