Butch,
I use OS/2 because it works, and works rather well. I like being able to do
things my own way and the underlying design of the WPS lets me do that. I have
the option of using NT4 Workstation (which is installed on the "C" partition of
my ThinkPad) but the ThinkPad runs Warp between 90%-95% of the time. I use NT
for doing 35mm film scanning and just about nothing else. If I could find an
OS/2 utility that could access all the features of my Nikon LS-2000 scanner NT
would probably never get booted.

I have used "big iron" systems (mostly VM/CMS -- which certainly dates me),
various flavors of Windows; I have been using OS/2 in all its incarnations
since 1.1 Extended Edition was issued in 1985 or 1986 (I have a PS/2 Model 70
that has never had a hard drive formatted in anything other than HPFS); I have
even tinkered a bit with UNIX -- which can be daunting. But OS/2 is the system
that I find most intuitive of all the systems I've been exposed to.

If OS/2 quit meeting me needs, I'd be shopping like mad for an alternative. I
haven't upgraded to eCS -- yet -- because Warp4 still serves all my needs. I
may spring for a couple of eCS licenses next year, though, just so that I can
stay current on maintenance.

Sorry for being so wordy. Hope this helps.
