I was a bit disappointed that Newton didn't run Java.   (:

Dean, I had OS/2 WaRp running in a triple-boot configuration, when my hard
drive crashed.  *sigh*  I then just skipped to Win/95, then NT/WS, and now
NT/Server.

Not because I think OS/2 is not worth it, but because The Powers That Be
have decided that NT is the way to go at work.  I need to figure out what
sort of nightmares we may be facing.  Such as documentation not matching
reality...  or features not working smoothly with the AS/400...

I think those who planned the marketing for OS/2 also planned the marketing
for Macintosh, Newton, and BetaMax.  If Only IBM Had Told People That OS/2
Could Do Everything Win/95 Promised But Could Do It NOW, Win/95 would be
running neck and neck with OS/2.  And maybe OS/2 would actually be winning
on merit, not losing on advertising.

*sigh*
