Comment OS/2 / eCS is ALIVE ! (Score 1) 99

I am very much amused by the mindset here at Slachdot. In order to lift up Linux and all its flavours one must put down other OS's and or make people believe other OS'S are near extintions where it is quite the opposite. If you are not using the OS's then why make comments. Every OS has its place, I use eCS/OS/2 because of what it offers and I am able to accomplish what I need to do at my work. I use a Seiko labeler for printing shipping labels, also putting labels on disk...etc... and guess what I am using it with USB, I have eCS - OS/2 installed on a 20 GIG IDE Fujitsu drive, I have a USB HP printer...and it works!, I also connect to a Netware 5.1 server, NO problem and I print to a network printer! I use the latest verison of Realplayer for Win9x, NO problem! I just purchased the latest Yamaha CDburner 20x10x40 SCSI and it works perfectly in OS/2 - eCS. I use OPERA for OS/2, Mozilla 0.9.5 for OS/2. I use a Java app that are current, I use Adobe 5.x for win32. I use Lotus SmartSuite 1.6 and can read all Office 97/office2000 files. So I ask why would still believe Warp is near extinction?...I am able to do my work and not fear lockups on my system, or I don't have to apply kernel updates every so often like Linux users do. I install products with little or no effort, something linux users still look forward to someday having that ease of doing. Warp and eCS is very much updated with current hardware drivers and optimized with pentium support and it comes in a couple of flavours: MCP(Merlin convience pack from IBM) and from Serenity Systems: eCS, eCSpro, eCS with smp...etc. OS/2 is not going away because it still meets the needs of people that come to respect it and rely on its stability and it provides solid solutions today and it works very well!!! Live long and prosper!! Vaughn Bender
