- I have been a user of OS/2 2.0 since it first went GA, I have also been
- following
- this newsgroups and .misc regularly since then. I read regularly about
- two different computer magazines......
-
- WHEN THE HELL DID IBM PROMISE THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
-
- if you read you licence, it will say that it is a licence for one copy
- of OS/2 2.0
-
- it says nothing about 2.1, 1.3 1,0, 1.2 7.9 or whatever!!!!!!
-
- give it a rest!!!! OS/2 2.0 is a GREAT operating system!!!
-
- if you don't think 2.1 is going to be better...or worth paying for...
-
- DON'T GET IT!!!!!
