Hi there
Yes, I am a Mac user, I have seen OS/2 in
use and think it is great, stable, and
powerfull. Yes I run OS9, and yes it does
crash. But I like the fact that OS/2 is
powerfull and stable. The Unix style of
NeXT OS (the next OS of Apple being
MacOSX) wont be out in Australia for
ages, and want something stable. does
anyone know how I can buy OS/2 - I am
running VirtualPC and can take OS/2.

Hi !
You'll be able to buy OS/2 on IBM site, but this may not be the best choice. If you want an old version (Warp 3 or 4), you'll buy it on auction sites (try ebay). If you want the latest OS/2 evolution, you'll have to buy Ecomstation (this will be the future OS/2 Warp). Go to www.ecomstation.com where you will be able to pre-order it (and they'll send you immediately the pre-version).
Good luck !
Laurent

The July issue of the Australian Personal Computer User Mag had it for free.
You might be able to contact the publishers and get a back issue with CDs. There was Red Hat Linux and BeOs Personal Edition on CDs as well with this issue.
