I have been told that IBM is porting OS/2 to the Macintosh.
Is this true? I thought that it had already been ported to
the PowerPC architecture, so it seems it should be able to
run on the Mac. If it is being ported, when will it be
be available? I love to support anything that comes without
a Microsoft copyright on it: Amiga, Macintosh, Linux, OS/2,
NetBSD. The Windows weenies think that they have conquered
the universe. But there are lots of choices out there that
are far better than anything that Microsoft has ever put out.
And I want to do whatever I can to keep it that way.
Best regards,
Edwin
