> I've gotten the music to work, under an OS/2 DOS box. > > See Randal, OS/2 is good for something! :) >John Kim I'd like to just take a moment to let everyone know--especially you OS/2 types--that I very much respect and admire the efforts that have gone into OS/2, both on the part of IBM programmers and those rabid "Team OS/2" folks who have made it their personal mission to see to it that OS/2 is on every PC. Those of you who are the *real* OS/2 nuts will recognize my last name, but only if it were attached to a first name of "Dave"--yes, we're related. Yes--he's actually my brother. And if you don't think I've heard the best arguments in the world for OS/2 from him, then you are sadly mistaken. As I've said, I've had it installed on my desktop PC 3 different times in 3 different versions (though not on my TP750C), and believe me-- I gave it the hardware requirements it thirsted for (and then some). I *wanted* it to work--I *wanted* a true 32-bit multitasking monster. All I got was a wonderful operating system with few apps and lacking driver support--and I didn't see any reason to run OS/2 just so I could run my Windows apps--Windows did it better. I feel I've given OS/2 a very fair chance to work for me--its just that it always falls short. I've told Sean Chou already that if all the apps I used suddenly popped up with OS/2 versions *tomorrow* (and I could get them for the cost of disks or something)--then I'd switch back again tomorrow. If such an event occurred, then the driver support would follow too. I see OS/2's great potential, but the current reality just isn't as bright as its future. Meanwhile, if OS/2 ever *really* catches on as something besides a niche market, I'll be joining all of you in the future, and I have no doubt it will be *because* of you people's efforts. As for me, I'm just not willing to "blaze the trail" myself (unlike my brother Dave, I don't get paid to do it nor do I get all sorts of free OS/2 apps handed to me because I'm an OS/2 marketing guru)--I've got work to do. :) ----- Randy Whittle whittle@chaph.usc.edu University of Southern California School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) - Motorcycle nut, HP 48GX & 100LX user, & lover of fine chocolate...
