I have it and have had it for ~ 2 weeks. It is a good solid TCP package
with a complete set of TCP applications and extensions. I would be remiss
in posting the internal comparative analysis I just performed between
our OS/2 package and it.
It suffices to say that if you want either an NFS server or X-Windows server
on an OS/2 machine your only solution at the current time is IBM's package.

kagraves (Kenneth A Graves):
The major retcon -- from issues 4-5 -- is that Superboy and Supergirl
never existed (with the exception of Superboy). So for all old appearances
of Superboy read "Lar Gand", whose superhero name was now "Valor", rather
than "Mon-El" (since there was never a Superboy to think him a brother,
sort of). For stories in which they both appear, handwave. For all old
appearances of Supergirl, read "Laurel Gand", a Daxamite who is Lar's
[distant] cousin, and who is a Supergirl lookalike except for being seven
feet tall, dressing differently, and having a different appearance. Clear?

> I was wondering if Santa was going to send me all those
> presents I had requested because I have been such a good boy this year?
>
> Greedily Dreaming
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
} Dear Mr. Dreaming,
}
} Hmmm... Let me check..

Seeking-
The True Meaning of Friendship
and of course
try out lots of stuff, like:
Ice Hockey
Sky Diving
Water Skiing
Snow Boarding
Not getting myself hurt everyday
Backpacking in Europe
Enjoying life
Kayaking in the northern seas
and.... the more contritely stuff like
Not having a Social Life on Computer
Not hacking away everyday on computer
and... the more academic oriented objectives like
Getting a UROP in Biology related research
Learning C programming
Also trying to
Get a Black belt before graduation-that's if I graduate
actually this plan is kind of bombed, since I probably
torn my knee ligaments and won't get back to karate for
while
So back to the old project
graduate!!!!!!!!
To be honest, none of above plan really matter, what matter is something I
would probably never get........ (take a guess)
