Excerpts from netnews.bit.listserv.os2-l: 31-Dec-93 OS/2 Wishlist - First Edition by Evan Champion@spatial.UU > This is the OS/2 Wishlist, compiled from people on the Internet and Fidonet. > This document hopefully represents the direction in which the public would > like OS/2 to go and the tasks that must be accomplished to get OS/2 there. Ummm, I think we're at a total conflict of interest here. From that list, I would have to deduce that what is really wanted is UNIX. This is definately not the case. I don't want OS/2 to be UNIX. I like it just the way it is. Some thinks need to be worked on, but most of what I saw on your list I put in the "pointless" category. Why not try to think what features would benefit the most people, not what one single person wants. I might like all text displayed upside down, since I can read faster that way, but that doesn't mean it should be an option of the OS!
