comp.os.os2 is not really a news group. See all the subgroups under
it. One of the most used these days is comp.os.os2.ecomstation since
its the only still supported upgrade path available for purchase.
(IBM pulled OS/2 from marketing as of December 23rd and will cease all
non-contracted support as of a year from that date.)

Such as os2guy, ecsguy, hudsonjohns, and lots more fake personnas.
