* SuSEnixER (WideGlide@MyRealBox.com) [020505 09:38]: :: ::Brings to mind another very large DROPPED ball by Big Blue (IBM). ::Think the name was OS/2 (a superior offering with NO MARKET SUPPORT). Actually, OS/2 was receiving quite a bit of market support the 6 months or so before Win95 came out. I saw the sales figures of OS/2 and they had tripled in the year before Win95 came out. And if one payed attention to the Anti-Trust trial it's common knowledge that MS told IBM they would have to pay full retail price for every Win95 copy they got or if they even got a license at all. Unless they put PR and support for OS/2 and Lotus-Suite on the back burner for one year. The 700lb guerilla got strong armed by the 800lb guerilla and thus we lost a great environment to obscurity. Sad really. -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--
