I just got a sample copy of their publication (June 1992) and I find
it good. Topics discussed:
a) Setting notebooks, b) What is a shadow? c) OS/2 for lefthanded
d) Using Novell Netware with OS/2 e) Loading Windoze apps faster
f) The many ways to drag an icon.

Topic d) is, IMHO, comprehensive in just three pages.

The "Welcome to Inside OS/2" by the editor is thruthful.

"...it's clear that DOS just won't cut the mustard anymore. After all,
DOS was originally designed to run on PCs built in 1982, not 1992.
Equipping a powerful 386- or 486-based PC with a decade old operating
system is like putting a Model T Ford engine in a Lamborghini."

"When IBM released OS/2 2.0 this spring, they finally provided us
with an operating system for the '90s."

There is also a glossary at the back.
