This is a silly post.  Everyone knows that IBM supports OS/2 on all
PC-compatible hardware and offers a money-back guarantee if they can't
get it to work on your hardware.  Will Microsoft give me my money back
if I can't get Windows 3.1 or NT to work on my hardware?  Microsoftians
should check up on their facts before posting...
