Why is everyone worried about VPC/2 , Real Player and Flash ? I doubt that many people ever bought VPC/2 as it was too expensive and if you want to listen to music when you are using your computer just buy a CD player. If you want MS stuff just partition your disk and get an old version of WIN 95 for it. Personally I couldn't care less about listening to music when I'm using the computer and if I wanted to play games (which I don't) I'd buy a play station. I have all the programs I need on OS/2 even if IBM stops selling it. My main worry is that when my printers or scanner packs up there won't be drivers for new models. Hence I have a couple of printers just in case. My only other need is an up to date internet browser. Fortunately Mozilla is keeping up to date. I think we should be approaching all the makers of OS/2 software and asking them to make their code available if they decide to stop marketing their OS/2 programs.
