Ed, Yes, you're right…no one needs real multi-tasking <grin>. Seriously, yes, it's true, an awful lot of MS-DOS stuff is doing simple tasks that would still run fine on an old XT with MS-DOS 3.0. There's no need, push or desire for them to upgrade to anything. But there's an awful lot who are finding out that integrated packages under Windows are improving their productivity…and they want more. As to why IBM's underpowered/high priced machines affect the current view of OS/2…fairly simple. IBM has left a bad taste in the mouths of lots of users and they flat won't deal with anything that has IBM's name on it…hardware or software. I honestly believe that OS/2 would have a much better chance at success if it had someone else's name on it…almost anyone else's name. Don
