ah nice, didn't know that it's already that connected.

I agree with that completely. We talked a lot about the future of OS/2
with several OS/2 developers and most of them simply are not interested
in working 100% on Linux. We know that some things in OS/2 are really
crap nowadays but like this we always have something to do :-)

If I talk to people I usualy say "It does not make sense at all what we
do but it's fun" and I think for many of us this is like this. That's
why we stay on OS/2 and enhance it wherever we can (and find the time
to do so).

As long as you do that I am not afraid it won't work :-)
