Definitions |
TechWeb Technology Encyclopedia (http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/defineterm.cgi). Searching on "OS/2" returned a nice definition. Now try "Java", "driver", "object-oriented", and all that stuff you've heard of that you didn't understand. |
This month's Duck Feather
OS/2 on the web is hot.
Nine months ago the HotBot
(http://www.hotbot.com) search engine returned 714,258 "OS/2" hits.
Today it's 1,945,885 (a 172% increase), and growing.
Rerun those old searches that didn't return much -- your chances of a good
response are much better today.
