OS/2 Community Now Just Crybabies
The nice thing about having a popular blog is that it reaches beyond the OS/2 community and reveals to others what really goes on in the world of OS/2. The one group that continues to destroy the credibility of the small OS/2 community are the crybabies and these guys don't use OS/2 and seem to come out of Europe more than they do the U.S. With names like Dieter, Gustav, Mario, Anders and Yohan they work the forums with slight-handed attacks, baiting the few real OS/2 users into flame wars with threads longer than you arm. Dubbed "The Crybabies" these guys whine incessantly over the failure of IBM to support OS/2 despite the fact that IBM shut down OS/2 as far back as 1995. It's like dragging out the old five-inch floppy and lamenting at the company who originally sold it that it is their fault it fails to sell today. When "The Crybabies" are ridiculed and lambasted they quickly aim for the jugular and complain with threats and slanderous statements then run away for another few weeks to return again with the same game plan.

If IBM hadn't killed OS/2 on their own these crybabies would have done it themselves.

MacBook Air Requires Custom Install Disk
If you were hoping to use the MacBook Air installer disks to install Leopard on any other Mac computer you can forget it. The installer will prevent the software from being installed on any other Macintosh computers and you should NOT use the Leopard OS X 1.5 installation media to restore the system software on any MacBook Air. You must use the MacBook Air installation disk only. Just FYI...

OS X Is Really Immune To Viruses
Poor Microsoft users. They have to deal with over 200,000 wild malware (virus, trojans and worms) affecting their Windows world of computing. The OS X user is immune entirely to all Windows virus, trojans and worms. That doesn't mean OS X isn't impenetrable, but to access your system and implant malware the attacker would have to know your personal system password.
