Yes, it's still being sold, but under the name Ecomstation, not OS/2. I hoped it would eventually reach a sufficient stage of maturity to have current drivers for everything and so on, but IBM's lack of marketing and support have essentially killed a product that was superior to Windows in many ways. eCs added a number of things, including an awful LVM system that was'nt necessary or needed, and added much complications to the install. (And it wasn't compatible with Linix LVM, either). IBM costs us a lot of time and money with their lackadaisical support for OS/2. I reminded them of that when they tried to sell us new ATMs for our credit union. -- Bob Smits [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
