I agree.
Opera works with a relatively small budget but it's way more stable and WAY faster than Netscape. There's no reason for Netscape to be like this if they really wanted to get somewhere.
I have OS/2 WSeB on a laptop and will replace Windows 2000 with OS/2 on this gateway box as soon as possible (at the moment the gateway isn't mine) and we're hooked up with ADSL (PPPoE client, if needed, from http://www.fx.dk/ ).
As to that, I don't see myself as a zealot. I see advantages with many operating systems. I just use what I want and if people ask me I tell people about my experiences and opinions. I can mention disadvantages with Linux, OS/2, Windows, BeOS, MacOS etc, and advantages with them.
You should be able to set it in the mouse control panel. I don't remember Warp 3 anymore, but in Warp4 it's pretty easy to do.
As to the abusive tone, most OS/2 users (I like to think me included) are pretty nice too:)
I remember meeting some Linuxers who were ranting at me for sitting in Windows using Office for Word documents when I could use emacs and LaTex (or whats-its-name) instead... I recognize that somewhere out there, there exists nice *NIX gurus (I've met some, but they're severe minority around where I live it seems:P ).
I'm a BeGirl too, and touching at FreeBSD, so...
But I return to OS/2 to get work done, BeOS to play stuff, and anything else to learn/"because this only runs on Windows" etc
regards:)
That's blatant misleading:)
You honestly don't think OS/2 has moved at all since then?
Well, how about I won't try Slackware 7 'cause I know Slackware 2.3 won't run on my PC, and I won't touch WindowsXP neither 'cause Windows3.11 don't support my Rage Fury out of the box.:P
OS/2 has USB, UDF, generic IDE, ATA100 and SCSI and Live and Opensource projects at http://www.netlabs.org
Although your comment may have been funny before, all OSs have been back there. IBM have actually made new drivers continuously since 1996 for their corporate and consumer customers.
Visit http://service5.boulder.ibm.com/2bcprod.nsf for drivers and http://www-4.ibm.com/software/os/warp/support/ for other information.
OS/2 is to us OS/2ers as Linux is to... Linuxers:)
OS/2 is not dead, but IBM have tried hard to kill it, we just love it too darned much.
This is NOT IBM making a new version of OS/2, it's Serenity Systems. IBM have allowed Serenity to do it, opened some of the source for them, support them... And that's that. You see, IBM have been supporting OS/2 for existing LARGE customers like banks and such with thousands of licences in SEVERAL languages for years and as such they've had to keep OS/2 kicking, but that doesn't mean it's their main focus, not at all.
IBM are focused on Linux, not on OS/2.

Except for the fact that it sucks endless amounts of RAM and chrash 5/10 times when you switch to a window with a Buddy list open...
:)
But otherwise I think Netscape 6.2 is pretty

As an OS/2 user myself, I say: Amen

Calm down, as Serenity Systems, NOT Mensys, are behind eComStation. Mensys is the european distributor.
That's blatant misleading :)
