Sadly, I agree with you.  Even some of these computer science professors I'm 
working with don't know anything about OS/2.  Most of them are shocked that I 
still program in Pascal.

Supposedly they're marketing it in Germany, but I've not seen anything.  I 
don't think they have much of an advertising budget anyway.  I'd think you'd 
try to get the word out by advertising in trade magazines, other websites or 
even a Google ad.

My W2K box runs very nicely for months on end, but I still reboot it at least 
once a month to make sure that all is well.  It's some of these poorly-written 
programs that cause problems on occasion.

Later,
Sean
