I thought I'd read somewhere that WebExplorer won't work in 16-bit color? Also, I don't have an ethernet-capable version of OS/2 (The version I was using before switching to Linux was a one-year DevCon license). I do most of my work under Linux so Win95's poor multitasking isn't that big a deal. To be honest, I've almost conceded that Microsoft is going to keep their stranglehold on the PC market, and the only hope now is that networked apps will make the operating system irrelevent, pulling the rug out from underneath Microsoft's base. Did you see PC Week's recent review of presentation apps for Win95? Only Microsoft's Win95 app was faster than its Win3.1 predecessor. Everybody else's was slower. I wonder when the Feds are going to wake up and see that a major app company controling the OS is not a good thing. Ach, I'm rambling into politics... Since you're at Lotus, I'll add that the group editing features in WordPro are REALLY slick! Great job. When is Merlin coming out?
