        As one who has come down rather solidly on the side of Windows in the
Windows vs. OS/2 arguments (though certainly not for technical reasons,
but rather for the "facts of life" that Market forces have shown to drive--
namely, I've been disappointed by few OS/2 apps and few drivers--though the
number is growing), I find it rather ironic that I come down on the PC side
of the DOS's. Perhaps that might tell a few of you out there that I'm not
some blind-lover of Microsoft and a hater of IBM.

        But this thing is a bit absurd, since the differences between PC
DOS and MS-DOS is decidely nill, it seems there is little or nothing to
argue over!
