Found him at http://dave.editthispage.com/myNameIsDaveWiner, which also has a
link to davenet.userland.com. Maybe that's where you first saw him.

<g> Might've morphed into OpenVMS, which is what fuels the Compaq (formerly
DEC) Alpha. Think it's at version 7.4 now.

Serenity Systems (http://www.serenity-systems.com) has succeeded where Stardock
failed. Yes, they have managed to license OS/2 from IBM and has packaged it as
eComm Station. Agreement, as far as I recall, is good till 2004. As to the core
OS/2, I remember Bong Munoz (who might still be on this list?), or it could'a
been Ian, extolling the virtues of OS/2 from a programmer's point of view. As a
fully orthogonal system? Whatever -- as a user (i.e., client station) in the
Intel space, I find it surpasses Linux (sorry, guys, flames to /dev/null) and
even OpenBSD. As an x86 server, OpenBSD rules, but then I hasten to add that I
haven't managed to try out Warp Server for eBusiness, code-named Aurora. Have
heard lots of nice things said about it though, most of it from outside IBM --
as expected >:( And, at US$1700 (?), it's far too rich for my tastes.

You use Solaris at Mozcom, don't you? Or do you choose to decline comment? <g>
Mabuhay.
