Rodgers still gets mail from the address information that IBM sold to a number of interested parties after I registered OS/2 2.0 or 2.1. I know that the source is IBM because the middle initial is one that I have only used with IBM. -- ---- Windows 95 and NT: IBM's OS choices for IBM hardware, x86 and PowerPC ---- "That's not our primary target. There are people out there who love [OS/2 Warp] on the desktop, but our focus is on large enterprise customers." -- chief executive officer Louis Gerstner (IBM) (July, 1995)
