OS/2 user base to grow in seven months

2002-01-25 02:58:13 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [www.os2world.com]

This message arrived from Timur Tabi one month ago! (12/20/01)

"I have good news and bad news:

The good news is that the OS/2 user base will actually grow in seven months. The bad news is that it will be by only one person.

But that's really good news, but that one person will be my first child! Yes, that's right everyone: I finally figured out how to get my wife pregnant! (Previous attempts resulted in output buffer underflows - ha!) We don't know yet what the gernder of the child is, but I was thinking of naming it "Merlin" if it's a boy.

p.s. The expected delivery date is mid July."
