No, no mention at all. 🙂 (I don't want OS/2 on the "new" Amiga if it ever comes, I want something better.) Bob Comer — Cheyenne, WY USA Team OS/2

It's actually a tough shoot between OS/2 Warp and 3.1. 3.1 is much more responsive most of the time, and actually has more REXX supporting applications, but OS/2 does have its own REXX, and it does offer the ability to run Windoze apps–awful yes, but sometimes you need them. And OS/2 is a more robust OS, although most people probably don't need all its robustness. For some reason my Amiga crashes FAR less often than any OS/2 system I've ever used–except when I'm running AMosaic. <G> I like using my Amiga much more than a PC with OS/2, and PC hardware is horribly kludgy, but let's face it–PCs can be far faster than any Amiga. I just wish things had turned out differently. And I sure wish some of those apps were available on the Amiga. Mr. Zombie
