An interview with Dave Swartz, OS/2 Forum Leader for America Online
(AOL), is now online at
http://www.scoug.com/os24u/1998/scoug807.2.swartz.html
Many of the 14 million members of America Online use OS/2 and rely on
AOL's OS/2 Forum for news and technical support.
In the interview, Dave touches on many subjects, including
- AOL's coverage of the three big OS/2 issues: installation, drivers,
configuration
- his one-on-one contact with OS/2 users requesting help
- how the IBM 1620 circumvented technology and sped up its math
instructions
- why the 7 million Linux users will be writing the next century's
software
- out of all the OS/2 software available to him, what he's really got
on his machine
- his OS/2 Forum interviews of Tim Sipples, Brad Wardell, Felix Cruz,
Randell Flint, Rollin White, Dave Moskowitz and others
- AOL's parental control over online and Internet access
- power user tips such as how to circumvent OS/2's plug 'n' play
"sniffers" and the proper versions of Win32s to run on Warp
- the OS/2 volunteers: Robin, Simon, Tom, Kevin, Gerry, Joyce and
more
- the one trick to getting AOL installed successfully on OS/2
Included at the end of the interview is an extensive url list.
