OS2 is a very good and stable platform. I use it at work all the time. At
home , well 95 is winning. It need not be that way.
The wort feature of OS2 is the way that it reorders icons that I lasso to
line them up. If I wished you to select a new order, I would tell you to do
that. OS2 assumes that I want them it the order the operating system wishes.
I DO NOT AND WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT. Take a lesson from 95, allow lineup to
user defined spacing of ALL icon groups or the individual icons. This is
the worst part of OS2. I demand the Icons to be where I put them and in the
order I have them. I wish you to only align them in neat rows and column.
The old song that you have heard before. Get some new/more major packages
over to OS2. The suite you have is OLD and dated, and their is only one.
If one don't like lotus, then one is out of luck is not very great.
And on another point. The EAs that OS2 creates on a fat drive, are annoying
when running speed disk. I know that it is harmless and does not use any
more space etc.
OS2 is solid and runs forever, and that is really great. I like the system,
but work on the icon arraignment thing will you, I want thing to look the
way I like and not the way you like.
