When the original author of Mr. Know-It-All retired in December of 1998, the 2nd Mr. Know-It-All stepped forward to continue the tradition. This Mr. Know-It-All is also a fully buzzword compliant member of the technology generation. As such, he is qualified to answer many of the questions near and dear to an OS/2 user's heart. However, this Mr. Know-It-All does lack some features of the Usenet Oracle. Questions such as why me, what is the meaning of life and is OS/2 dead usually produce a null response.
