It still has it, and I still use it. :-)
Speaking of OS/2, it came out in a lawsuit involving MS that IBM "threw in the towel" on OS/2 because developers HAD to sign a contract that if they wrote for Windows, they COULD NOT write for anything else. THANK GOD FOR OSS - MS can't stop it - they can only - steal - from it. Speaking of stealing, it also came out, that while everyone was loving DOS, MS decided for FORCE windows on the public by making PC manufacturers buy a license for windows - whether they installed it or not. For the curious, this an more can be found in my semi-hidden business webpage that I've been building since 1998. (Which is when I dumped windows and switched to Linux, over the lawsuit involving MS's IE and Blue Mountain Greeting Cards, in which IE either deleted and/or not delivered over 1.5 million internet greeting cards) Again, thank god, for Netscape -> Mozilla -> Firefox http://www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com/other/microsoft.html Duaine P.S. I use this webpage as a promotional for the use of Linux.
