Actually, the people who market PC hardware stopped pushing 802.11b two years
ago. But the stuff will still be available new in box for a few more years. I
just saw a copy of OS/2 2.11 new in box...

That isn't quite true, either, or no one would buy any PC. Compared to a new
Apple, the latest PC looks like an antique. I assure you people still buy PCs,
even if they are a couple of years behind.
What is hard is to make a complete, coherent OS/2 story. There always seems to
be something missing or not quite there. 802.11 wireless is nowhere close to
the weak point for OS/2. The point is to pay close attention to the customer,
and to find what is essential.
Right now, it's amazing we have even this much OS/2 support. Worrying about not
having 802.11g support, when it's coming anyway, seems like a waste of time.
Better to concentrate on the things we can change.
