On the front page of
Communication Week was a
article stating that OS/2
did NOT support long
filenames.
Just recently InfoWorlds
Robert X Cringley (fictious)
bashed OS/2 by stating that
IBM does not even support
OS/2 with its products.
The product was a internet
package including a TCP/IP
stack, internet utilities,
and a winmodem. No OS/2 user
needs the stack or utilities
because its in the OS and
why would we want to waste
CPU cycles on a software
implementation of a modem?
The product is irrelevent to
OS/2 users and IBM would know
this.
This could go on for days but
the just of it is, the press
has done OS/2 harm for years
and Windows users who have
tried NOTHING else trash it
too. Some of us are fanatices
because MOST of you are deaf
and/or naive.
I have a customer telling me
I should port my OS/2 apps
to NT because they would run
faster and IBM is not
supporting it anymore. It
will cost a bunch and he
won't listen to me so I'll
take his money.
I had a manager say his
hospital was no longer
looking at OS/2 because IBM
was killing it.
This was 4 years ago!

Just another OS/2 fanatic.
