Hi,

The following part is taken from the Computer!Totaal (C!T) magazine.
A Dutch monthly magazine with 60.000 club members. They held a reader 
survey in which the readers could decide who would win this years
C!T trophy. This isn't an IBM club but a club for all computer users.
I was amazed at the number of awards that IBM and IBM products won.

I don't know if the IBM headquarters or other users around the world know 
about the results but I thought that it was interesting enough to give 
the Compuserve users the outcome of this years survey.

============================================================
CATEGORY HARDWARE.

Best desktop computer	: IBM PS/2
Best support & service  : IBM
2nd best laptop/notebook computer : IBM thinkpad

CATEGORY SOFTWARE

Best software overall : OS/2 2.1

CATEGORY OVERALL

Best company : IBM
2nd best Most innovative : OS/2 2.1 
2nd best overall product : OS/2 2.1
3rd Best Newcomer (after 1-1-1993) : OS/2 2.1
============================================================

Well this shows that the users know what they want but when are 
the software producers finally going to see that OS/2 is here 
to stay ! I'm sick and tired of using Windows programs in OS/2 
because there are no OS/2 versions available.

NT (it takes about 16 Mb of memory to get the thing going!)
isn't the way to go and Windows 4.0 is planned for 1994 and 
you know what that means ! Mr. Gates will do the same trick he 
did with NT, so it will probably be 1996 (after several thousands 
of promises of Mr. Gates and after even many more thousands of 
rescheduled and postponed release dates) before we will see the first 
stable version ! NO, NO, NO, My advise is to dump Windows in the 
trashcan and Bill Gates with it while your at it.

OS/2 all the way for me !
