The article on the cover of MacWeek 31 says computerland thinks it
will cost a minimum of $1500 to set up your machine to run OS/2.  It's
fun to smash on vaporware, but actually you're just expending hot air
for no reason.  I frankly would be VERY suprised if Microsoft can
release a product anywhere near the functionality of Apple's
system/finder.  There are certain types of software that cannot be
written from scratch -- they must be *evolved*
