I installed the two DOS disks, three Windows disk, FaxWorks! and the
OS/2 disks. I didn't really notice a difference, though I *think*
modem file transfer is now faster. All the problems I have had with
MWAVE on OS/2 continue, however. Some day, I might reinstall Warp
for the third time, but my conclusion is that the OS/2 people simply
haven't taken sufficient care to integrate their product with laptops.
IBM has announced that OS/2 will be preloaded on many laptops. This
will be a real hoot for their help line.
I got Linux running on my 755CE in much less time than OS/2, but then
I'm a UNIX person. I was crossmounting file systems between my laptop
and my server within a day. And like OS/2 Linux doesn't (appear to)
support MWAVE or 16-bit pixels either! But it's remarkably responsive.
Eugene.
