An update to OS/2's multimedia capabilities is certainly required, and
if it wasn't a GNU effort, I'd even be willing to pay for it.  I wish
OS/2 could just keep up with new proven technologies such as USB cameras etc.
I guess IBM's decision to only provide fixes for Warp is finally having
a negative effect to its usefulness, for me anyway.  It's certainly
very disappointing since its the only capability I need that OS/2 doesn't
support.  Win95 has proven extremely unstable and not as robust for
my internet connection, I'll install Win98 and see if this is an improvement.

I'll keep an eye out for an OS/2 solution to using the Logitech Quickcam
Home (USB) that I will be using, but in the meantime I think I'll make
Windows my default OS in boot manager. :-(


Cheers and good luck,
Randy
