         Point #1: OS/2 is weird. Its just plain silly that it requires
both a floppy & a CD for an installation.

         Point #2: Ever hear of an external connecting cable? (It came
with my TP600, but they dropped the ball when they didn't include one with
the T20.)

         Point #3: How the heck often do you install an OS anyway?
