Ah, I bought OS/2 and used it for about 2 weeks. It runs the top 100 DOS and
Windows program, and thats about it. And it runs them VERY SLOWLY if they
have any graphics at all in them. Why go to OS/2 to run DOS and Windows
programs? Why not just run them under DOS and Windows, where they were made
to run, and run a lot faster? OS/2 doesn't give you access to any more
programs; of the few programs that run under OS/2, they are all available
for DOS and Windows.
