What does your classic erroneous presupposition have to do with OS/2,

On what basis do you make that claim, Eater?

Your postings are on-topic there, Eater.

So are yours, tholenbot.

145> Classic illogic.

On your part, Eater.

On your part, trollian.

And you're too stupid to realize that you're wrong, Eater.

What does your pair of classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claims have
to do with OS/2, thalidomide?

Trolls like Sulfide Eater never let the facts get in the way
of a good rant, Schilling.

You tell us - you posted it to a Java group.

And it's classic redundancy, too. Vajhøj had made the exact same claim
nearly an hour earlier, Schilling.

You did not seem to get it the first time.

Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim. Schilling posted it to a
Java group, Vajhøj -- I only quoted it.

Don't bother replying to the troll. It's just Twisted, playing his old
boring games. He will never learn.

Classic illogic.

Who's "the troll", Enderin? There is nobody in this newsgroup using that
alias. I note though that the recipient of your advice was replying to
Schilling, Enderin.

No. None of the nasty things that you have said or implied about me
are at all true.

P.S. Is there a reason why every couple of weeks somebody
spontaneously flames me in cljp? It has been years since I made any
post here *except* to correct a spontaneous, unprovoked attack like
yours.

 

[Arne Vajhøj]

What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to do
with Java, Vajhøj?

It is pretty easy to substantiate.

Let me give you a little hint: some people have put
up a free encyclopedia on the internet called wikipedia.

I didn't write that, Vajhøj, yet you attributed it to
me anyway. Classic dishonesty on your part, Vajhøj.

It is pretty easy to substantiate.

Let me give you a little hint: your tone of voice is rude and

I used to use that name here, years ago. I bested Lars in some
argument or another and he's been carrying a grudge ever since. Every
so often he randomly flames me out of the blue, usually by comparing
someone else he's flaming to me and both of us to something
unpleasant.

Indeed. None of the nasty things that Lars has said or implied about

Classic illogic. VAX is an operating system, Vajhøj.

What does Schilling's classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have

VMS ... operating system

What does that have to do with OS/2, dizzy?

Even kooky astrologers know that. Right, tholen?

Or what? Or you will start spamming cljp?? Not much threat any longer!

Nothing, but if you read it then you will be able
to see that you were wrong about VAX.

[Arne Vajhøj]

As an OS/2 refugee, it seems to me that the operating system in the
1990s was not really "marginal" at all, any more than Mac then was. At
work there was a migration from VAX to DOS and finally to a GUI
interface, and a decision had to be made between Windows tacked onto
DOS, Mac, or NeXT, and OS/2 was seriously considered. OS/2 borrowed from
Xerox's research on the GUI to create an operating system for the PS/2,
the first really popular machine. The superiority of OS/2 over the
Windows hack job was well known, but my administration was only familiar
with DOS, and so Windows prevailed.

I don't recall that OS/2 was at all obscure, and my rough impression is
that it was better known then than linux is today. There were
enthusiastic OS/2 supporter groups in mid 1990s, including an active
group in my own city, which had a much larger attendence than the
current linux group here. It seems to me there was at least one journal
dedicated to OS/2, but I don't recall the titles.

I don't think anyone except mr. sulfide disagree.

IBM abandoned OS/2 because of internal politics, in part because IBM
wanted to focus on its own unix-based operating system, AIX.

Now you are talking server not desktop.

Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim, tholenbot.

On the contrary. All the necessary evidence was provided.

 

[Esmond Pitt]

You should know, Eater, given that you posted about VAXEN running
COBOL in an OS/2 newsgroup.

In response to Pitt doing so, tholenbot.

[calls me a liar].

What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to do
with OS/2, Pitt?

The first person to post about Vax and Cobol was you

The first person to do so in comp.os.os2.advocacy?

Nothing to do with me whatsoever.

Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

Not in the slightest. If you disagree I suggest *you* substantiate it.

 

[Esmond Pitt]

What do VAX mainframes running COBOL software have to do with OS/2, Pitt?

I don't know. You're the one who mentioned Vaxes, which are not
mainframes, and Cobol. You seem to be having short term memory problems.

 

[Roedy Green]

No 'wildest dreams' about it. I made a very good living out of OS/2 for
ten consecutive years. IBM stated at some stage that the OS/2 project
had showed a considerable profit.

OS/2 had uses other than the desktop. It made big inroads into ATM
machines.

Refactor early. If you procrastinate, you will have
even more code to adjust based on the faulty design.

But you didn't, dizzy, hence the use of the word "unsubstantiated".
