Imagine those idiots at IBM - releasing another new and updated
IBM Web Browser. Continuing to scoff at Serenity and support
our favorite operating system. Silly them.

Then why are you bothering to respond, Elizabot?

Irrelevant to the question about which version the IBM Web Browser
is based on, ELizabot.
88> Go there and report back.
Report back on what, Elizabot?
89> What does that have to do with OS/2, Tholen?
That's what I've been asking you, Elizabot.

It was Timmy Martini who had claimed that mozilla 1.3 is backelveld
against the IBM WEB browser -even as anybody, including IBM had sayed
that the contrary is true.

Well, look what just appeared on eCS NewsCast?
-IBM updated the Web Browser from 2.0 to 2.01. The updated version
-is available to registered eComStation 1.1 users.
Apparently "To Scoff" means "Send 'em a copy to share with their
customers". Yes, Virginia, eCS comes with IWB these days. Mozilla/5.0
(OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020919 IBM Web Browser
for OS/2 to be precise.
Now... Do I really want to download this?

Timmy, don't sllep, be aware of the FBI coming to you to to confiscate
all your hardware because on all the stealing you've done and freely
admitted here so often. It was Timmy Martini who had written multiple
times: "I've never spent a single cent for software, I've stolen all
that using napster and other equivalent tools. I love IBM OS/2 because
it doesn't require a key for install and run, so it is easy to steal
and anybody should do as myself, stealing OS/2 and all OS/2 software,
instead of paying for."
Should not too long time and Timmy Martini aka Larry Chauvet gets

'france' is his codeword for beathe sieved air.

Except for two things:
(1) Those trying to download it from the eComStation
have openly and very publicly complained that it isn't there, and,
(2) You HAVE to pay an additional fee to Serenity
to get it (i.e., you have to purchase a Fee Protection
Service Contract aka Upgrade Protection). That UP
along with the newbie eCS starter package costs the
eCS Luser more than $300 freaking dollars!
OTOH, Software Choice Subscribers get it and all
updates, refreshes and additional OS/2 programs
and they get everything when IBM releases it - not
when some deft dimwitted duh-how-do-you-upload
nitwit from Serenity claims it is 'there'.
The new IBM Web Browser works great. Live with

Hello World,

Hmm. Just went into the site and I can't find the file. I seem to have read
that "Someone" put the file in the wrong place in the Friday afternoon rush.
Will check back on Monday to see if 't is fixed. Until then, I can probably
live without it. If you don't know how to wait for stuff, you haven't been
using OS/2 for the past few years.
I've been reading up on CVS lately - It's probably one of those branch
thingies... IBM seem to have done things to IWB that aren't in Mozilla, but
buggered if I know what. For now, I'm using IWB 2.00 because that came with
eCS. Haven't run into anything that would force me to upgrade. If necessary,
I have Mozila 1.3.something available on my server here.
I find I've been using Mozilla quite a lot lately for word processing -
system documentation mainly. I tend to hand in my sysdocs as HTML these days.
I work with AIX, so I have created scripts that will examine your AIX box and
produce system documentation that actually looks human-written. I mix in
hand-written HTML to arrive at system documentation that is usable even on
the AIX box itself and of course, on my trusty eCS ThinkPad.
OS/2 works marvellously well with Unix-likes. I can mount Unix NFS drives
using NetDrive, have Unix boxes mount stuff off my ThinkPad using NFS, export
their graphical displays to me using Hob X11, mount remote directories using
FTP if there's no NFS on the Unix box (Netdrive again. If you don't have it,
get it! It's 30-day tryout shareware. Well worth its registration fee). I can
also get to all the Java-based applications used these days to configure
storage: The Storwatch Specialist (for the ESS), the IBM SAN switches
(Brocade switches), the tape libraries and more. This way, I find that I can
work a lot quicker and more efficiently than my friends and colleagues on
their Windows or Linux laptops.
The only "groan" moment is when someone looks at my screen and asks what
version of Linux I'm running. Think we'd better announce to the world that
we're still here.
Cool. I'll have a look at that when I have the time.
Cheers/2,
Menno

It is not available.
Once it is available it will ONLY be available to those who have
paid for the additional Protection Fee Service contract.
Then it just goes to show how your original claim, that the latest
release of the IBM OS/2 Web Browser is available to eCS Lusers,
is facetious.

post said that you cannot buy UP at this time and you can't. I quoted
the article that says it is for registered owners of eCS 1.1 which
would include those with UP like myself and thirdly, as you quoted
above, that the file is not available. Is my claim that it is not
available facetious? Where is it then? Even as an UP subscriber I
cannot find it. Hence your comment seems to be facetious that UP
subscribers have access to it.
As for the last piece, I have full access to SWC, MCP1, MCP2, ACP1,
and ACP2 for the downloading if I desire as my company makes it
available to us but I choose to support Serenity Systems as the only
viable means of supporting OS/2 at this time.
I did confirm that I didn't see the file, and as you conveniently
missed reading (or at least quoting) that I have seen IBM misplace
files on their servers, in fact I have seen this much more frequently
than I have from Serenity Systems.

The bastard of crap, timmy Martini is known as liar, thief and fudster
anyway, no wounder that he continous to lie.
And now he gets confused with IBM's PA! If he had not solen all his
environment he had payed nearly $2,000,-- to get all things that eCS
1.0 users got already for only $159,-- He ignores further that eCS 1.1
costs less than the half of the first year one has to pay to IBM only
to receive the rights to download all that what comes already on eCS
1.1 CD #1. But he claims anyway that the $1,500.-- he had payed alredy
(when he not is following his own words and had stolen it) is loose
when he does't pay another $170 annualy for only to have access to a
black box that may or may not contain sometims newer things as he has
alredy.
Not a single addidional OS/2 program - but only the fixes already
integraded in eCS 1.1 install (including IWB) are available. A NEW
OS/2 user has to pay: more than $300 for a license of WARP4 - only to
get the right to buy WARP4.52 for more than $200 only for the right to
use it one single year. Yeah, the BOC will tell you that spending
annualy $200 to have the rights to download anything you owns already
and the hpe that there maybe or maybe not sometimes is a little driver
more available is more than the $100 for eCS 1.1, what includes the
unlimited rights to download new drivers, fixes and updates - without
spending year for year a constantly increasing amount of money for a
black box.
If one steals any software, like Timmy Martini aka Larry Chauvet does
it is easy to say: "stel what you can and what you can't steal is bad,
because you can't use it without to pay some little $.
Read the truth about the BOC at:
http://tmfaq.servehttp.com/TMFaq/
Another lie. It was Timmy Martini who had claimed that mozilla 1.3 is
more outdated than mozilla 1.1 (the IBM WEB Browser the BOC claimed is
on a more current level than the outated one he comes now with).
So many folks are using mozilla 1.3 GA now for moonth, so the new IWB
has nothing than anyboldy uses already. But Timmy Martini knows
nothing real because he gets really confused with indows XP he runs on
his notebook and Unix where his crapcity is hosted under. Timmy
Martini never uses OS/2. He proves himself as XP and unix user. Check
his crapcity: it shows itself as builded under windows and running
under unix. Not a word about OS/2.
