This has been a disastrous year computer-wise. First, my original computer
blew up (only slightly an exaggeration–delayed reaction to lightning).
Luckily, I got some insurance money. I then bought a feature-rich computer
from a no-name maker. After long struggling, this was sent back for
repairs (or else). It came back, worked briefly and died dead. By this
point, its maker had mets its maker. Luckily, again I got money back from
VISA. Now I'm basically assembling a system like a stereo system. All
brand-name components from makers who can offer some support themselves.
Until this works, however, I'm not in any league (except for an IBM PS/2
30-286 at work).
Thanks Michael, I was feeling inferior. <g>. If you don't have the bucks
for your killer system, you can probably get a decent 386-40 for 11 or
twelve hundred dollars, the way things are going..

I think I'm just going to be able to scrape by price-wise. Just to
complicate matters, I've ordered the Windows NT PDK. I suspect I'm in store
for lots of "excitement".

The words 'glutton for punishment' come to mind…<g>

You're probably right about NT, but I am tired of waiting for a 32 bit
operating system and I dont have much faith in IBM's handling of OS/2.
<< I dont have much faith in IBM's handling of OS/2 >>
What faith are you lacking?
Here's some advice. I have been running OS/2 since Version 1.0. I have
been reading the weekly publications every week, and I have often said "The
OS/2 on my machine is NOT the same one that they are writing about!".
Don't believe everything you read (or watch on TV). Many times, there is a
hidden agenda.

My lack of faith is not in the product itself (which sounds like it has
many technical virtues) but in IBM's marketing, promotion and overall
handling of the system. I feel that, commercially, Windows NT is likely to
make a stronger impact.
