This is off-topic, but I disagree with you and Rick and anyone else who thinks
the world is paying enough attention to think of us.
We are invisiible. If I say I'm using OS/2, maybe someone knows what that is,
and if so, that is pretty awesome. Mostly, they don't even know that it is an
operating system.
Also, why would you run your life based on what some stupid people think? Don't
you know how pathetic that sounds?
I like using OS/2. I like eComStation. I don't hate using those other operating
systems, but I'm choosing ones that I like better.
