I keep hearing it is. So I was just wondering.
Actually it is a pretty good operating system. Plus you got REXX with
it and you can do your own programming. The timeslicing overhead was a
little high, but that's why you get when you have to have overhead for
timeslicing.
itellitlikeitis
(even though things didn't work out for me and IBM in the end)
Things didn't work out for OS/2 either. LOL
Things always work out in the end, Carl.
Or ends, in the case of Double-Anus, Bruce.
Exactly, Carl.
Many ends apparently, Bruce.
He's no end an arse, Carl.
No end in sight, Bruce.
That's a worry, Carl.
Many sleepless nights lie ahead, Bruce.
Oh dear.
Medication might be called for, Bruce.
What sort of medication, Carl? Preparation-H or Kentucky Jelly?
Surely that depends on the port of entry, Bruce?
So its not a simple case of any port in a storm, Carl?
Not really, Bruce. More a simple case of lifestyle.
Lifestyle huh, Carl?
That's the PC term for it, Bruce.
PC, Carl? What, Windows or OS/2?
Linnucks of course, Bruce.
Ah, of course, Carl. Linsux.
The best OS there is, Bruce.
And it's an OS OS!
An OS OS, Carl? I've not heard of one of those before.
I think it stands for "open source", Bruce. Whatever that means.
Anything like secret sauce, Carl?
Could be, Bruce. It's all a big mystery to me.
Its a wonder an OS works, Carl.
Some work better than others, Bruce.
You mean like Windows and OS/2, Carl?
Not really, Bruce. OS/2 stands for Open Sewer/2.
Any particular open sewer, Carl, or just open sewers in general?
