  31. This just shows what a bunch of numnuts the editors of PC/Computing are. Who 
  32. the hell ever said Windows 3.1 was an _operating system_?? It's a pretty 
  33. shell for a 16 bit non re-entrant interrupt handler written in the early 
  34. 80's for a processor limited by design to 1M of RAM.
  35.  
  36. Oh, that's right. MICROSOFT said it's an operating system. Never mind. :)
  37.  
  38. [it is nice to get some recoginition for OS/2 even if the people doing the 
  39. recognizing can't tell their left hand from their right unless Bill Gates 
  40. tells them which is which.]
