If someone else has not already done so, I'll put your last post on
CompuServe this evening.
For the newcomers to this group, I'd like to point out that back even before
there was a comp.os.os2.advocacy, Bob Cain was a regular contributor to
comp.os.os2.{misc,programmer}. He was a near-FANATICAL OS/2 supporter.
If I remember correctly, he is also a former IBM employee that remembered
his former employer fondly. Definitely not the sort of person that
would leave OS/2 easily.
I too was an OS/2 supporter then (though not as big a one as Bob Cain), but
due to similar silliness on IBM's part, changed mainly to the Microsoft camp.
