- Why do you use OS/2? 
   It does what I want to do in the
way I want to do it.
  - When did you first use OS/2? 
   Open Beta of 2.0.
  - Why did you first use OS/2? 
   I had just been burned by
buying Word and Excel for 3.0 and was told I need to pay more to make it
work on 3.1. I tried other DOS multitaskers but OS/2 and the WPS gave me
more flexibility.
  - What's your favorite soda? 
   Diet Pepsi
  - What was your first computer? 
   At school it was a IMSI
8080 with front panel switches that you had to toggle to teach how to read
a tape from the teletype. At home it was a Commodore PET 2001. 8K Ram and
a built it tape drive. Somewhere around 1975.
  - Favorite or most used OS/2 application? 
   Netscape or
Post Road Mailer.
  - What do you do for a living? 
   I work at Volt Consulting
Services in the Advanced Technologies Research and Design Department.
Where I test and develop various systems to be marketed Including
WorkSpace on Demand and ADSL modems.

  - LWPFTP - A Better Way to FTP
 FTP programs' 
interfaces vary from a plain character mode to graphical with point and 
click selection.  But LWPFTP is something different - it isn't a separate 
program to run when you want to download off of the net. Rather, it is 
integrated into the Workplace Shell as a special kind of folder you use with point and 
click.  (9/1/1995)
