I wasn't using OS/2. OS = Operating System.

Are you saying that your restore problems were due to the specific operating system that you were using, rather than, e.g., the backup technology you were using? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I was just trying to clear up a possible point of misunderstanding, since you appeared to take "OS" as referring specifically to "OS/2". And to avoid the next misunderstanding, I'm not calling you stupid or claiming that you *did* misunderstand, only saying that it appeared possible.

Had I written DOS or Mac >OS, would you have interpreted it the same way, and, if so, why? On the basis of context, given that you were replying to my post which didn't in any way mention OS/2 or the specifics of any particular operating system, but which did use the acronym OS. Do we really need to drag this out so much? |
