Not so fast here! If I can offer my 2 cents (I'm going to anyway), the
"OS/2 Must Have" site no longer exists and I miss it. I believe there is
a need for it and I would like to see SCOUG create one. I don't think
this would be hard to do. Each of us could contribute and one of us
could be the custodian of the site. Each of us has favorite apps and we
each keep up with those apps, updating them when necessary, etc. Each of
us could contribute several lines to the site on one or more apps that
we have on our individual systems. In my opinion each cited app should
contain the following info:

1. name of the app
2. what it does
3. URL where the app can be reviewed/purchased/downloaded
4. short review of the major features of the app, major strengths and
weaknessses
