Wow!  Where did you guys(IBM) come from(with respect to the Internet)?  I'm
gearing up for OS/2, and leapfrogging Windows altogether, this Spring.  My
principal interest is C++ programming.  Although my system research is still
in the "hardware" mode, I will be investigating my OS/2 C++ compiler options
by year's end.  Receiving Internet technical support is a *plus*!  Nice work!

I have been arguing that, if an organization wants to firmly establish itself
with the "grass roots," Internet is a good place to be.  I'm glad to learn
that your management recognizes the value of this great forum!  Sorry to say
this, but count me in as one of those who have a low opinion of your Marketing
department.  Your presence here should diminish your Sales department's
dependancy on "those bimbos."  :-)

Again, hats off to you for being a "trend setter" at IBM!  I hope your
systems support team is watching as you break "new ground."
