Games |
Ultimate OS/2 Gaming Page (http://www.ionet.net/~colin/games.html). What!? Play GAMES while OS/2 is under attack!? A traitorous suggestion. Still, maybe just for a minute . . . |

Magazine |
ZDNet (http://www.hotfiles.com). Ziff-Davis does give a bit of coverage to OS/2 (and see the July issue of PC Magazine, p. 202!). Choose "Find It", then "Find It Search", then "Search All of ZDNet", then (of course) "OS/2". |

The OS/2 Real-Time MIDI Subsystem (http://www.io.com/~timur/rtmidi.html). MIDI music maestros take heart - OS/2 can rock you to sleep with nary a peep. |
