publisher has been porting their apps to Windows 95 over the past
two-three years. OS/2 Warp has one or two big guys that have Win95 AND Warp
plans. Why switch to OS/2? I can't see why... 
<P>
It's too bad IBM can't do anything significant with OS/2; Windows
95 has no real competition now. An argument could be made for
OS/2 over Windows 3.xx, but Windows 95 eliminates all of OS/2's
advantages over 16 bit Windows. Don't be fooled by the very vocal
OS/2 crowd; Windows 95 is a great product that destroyed any
need for OS/2 Warp except for that cult of OS/2 Internet buffs
that think Microsoft is the root of all evil. If you doubt me,
check out some of the flaming OS war messages on <!WA22><A HREF="news:comp.os.os2.advocacy">comp.os.os2.advocacy</A> or

<H2>Delphi</H2>

<P>
When a product is good, I always give it due credit. (OS/2 just
sucks, so it gets no credit). <!WA31><A HREF="http://www.borland.com/Product/Lang/Delphi/Delphi.html">Delphi</A>
is what <!WA32><A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/vbasic">Microsoft Visual Basic</A>
should have been. It is an extremely easy to use, powerful RAD
environment. What really differentiates it from Visual Basic and
PowerBuilder is that is is completely object-oriented (based on
Object Pascal) and <B>compiled</B> not interpreted. This means
it is very easy to compile and distribute without worrying about
distributing runtime DLLs. There is also a significant speed advantage
of compiled programs over interpreted ones. I've written several
Delphi applications and I am still amazed at the power and ease
of use Delphi offers. I have been using Delphi exclusively for my development 
of applications at work and I love it.

I would have a Death Row records link here, but I haven't found

<BR>
Up until a few months ago, Netscape was leading the way in the support of new HTML 3.0 features
such as page backgrounds, tables, and floating images.  Then, all of a sudden Microsoft Internet 
Explorer 2.0 came on the scene.  With support for in-line video, watermarks, background sounds, and more, 
Microsoft challenged Netscape for the leadership position in Web browsing.  Netscape was still ahead of Microsoft
in some areas such as frames and plug-ins, but when <!WA57><A href="http://www.microsoft.com/ie">Internet Explorer 3.0</A> 
came out, Microsoft finally matched or surpassed Netscape in every category.  Now, IE3 is a superset of Navigator 
in every way except multiplatform support.  So what if the 5% of non Windows/Mac machines out there don't run IE.

Not to digress again, but I do think IBM had a real oportunity
with the PowerPC systems they were preparing. Of course, they screwed things up again. 
They can't even get OS/2 to work well enough to even release it for the PowerPC. Pathetic. 
They should stick to hardware and stay out of the OS business.  I think the ThinkPad group at IBM should run the whole company.
They seem to be the only ones capable of making a real product that people want.

Apple has gone down the tubes quickly.  Apple fans are really amazing.  They don't realize that people don't
buy Macs because they are slow, expensive, cyclops-mouse, loser machines that happen to be easy to use.  Instead, they
waste all their time throwing the blame all over companies like Microsoft that are so good at what they do that
everyone they beat gets jealous and cries foul.  People buy PCs and Windows because they <b>like</b> it.  They don't buy Macs because
they <b>suck</b>.  Anyway, you can find out what overpriced and underpowered computers are like at
