- IBM's (unofficial) reaction to the MS terminator program went something
- like this (quoting from memory)
- "Why anyone would want to stay up day and night to write a terminator
- program for OS/2, I cannot imagine. Windows comes with such built in."
-
- Yes, I know this is polemic, but I just love it! :-) So, according to
- my info (CIS, which is, where I think I read it), MS _DID_ write such
- a program. (The quotation could be from J. Soyring, but I honestly cannot
- say for sure).
