I did mean it. Thing is, I would love to see a new client with all the
multimedia and driver support of Windows too, but it might never 
happen. What you mistook for preaching or lecturing was just my own 
frustration at the many people who seem to be abbandoning OS/2 lately.


What OS/2 needs is a group effort from user/programmers out there. How
about a replacement MM system for OS/2. Would that be possible? To 
replace MMOS2 with somthing GNU that we could all install if we so 
desired?
