Well, if a potential of 20 Million OS/2 users* is not a nice base to
start with, then they are doomed to fail anyhow.  Even more so due to
the number of s/w vendors that never looked at OS/2, while one view is
that the market is small, so is the competition for a good package.

Right now, BPSW is in the mode of self-fulfilling prophesy:
	No upgrades [because of no product]
	No new sales [because of nothing new to buy]
	No upgrades [because of no upgrade sales]
	. . .
