Robert:

I agree with you so very much.  I could almost (but don't) cry.

I wrote a letter to John Akers (3.5 pages with 38 pages of supporting
documentation).  Basically, it talks about OS/2 Marketing and Advertising.

One of its suggestions was to increase IBM developed OS/2 application 
advertisign. These applications can show off the abilities OS/2 have in 
important areas like multitasking, workplace shell, SOM, threading, support, 
etc.

People look for more than one example or voice.  By giving a voice to IBM's
really outstanding OS/2 applications (e.g. TCP/IP for OS/2 1.2.1) it gives
backing to OS/2.

Isn't this what you are discussing?

A personal moto : Don't like <.....> be a stealth product!

Bert.
