Re: Buying a Notebook (non-XW)

Don't count on Gateway's solicitude re OS/2. Last year I had to
give up on v. 2.11 since Gateway made it quite clear they had no
interest in providing an OS/2 driver for the built-in CD-ROM,
which its manufacturer, NEC, made exclusively for them, and thus
did not support either. Need I say that IBM was not interested
in making it possible for people to use their OS?
