This year Serenity Systems has released a new client version of OS/2. This article will introduce you to what OS/2 is all about. You will learn its history, its user interface, and its power under the hood. The article is also accompanied by a number of screenshots.

Dynamic Screen Resolution/Colour Depth
by Michael on Thu 6th Dec 2001 15:09 UTC

One (the only one) thing I wish for in the WPS is dyanamic screen resolution and colour depth. I tried BeOS, and fell in love with capacity to have different virtual desktops, each at a different screen resolution and colour depth. I have a couple of venerable Win 3.x programs that do not run well at 1280 x 1024 x 32 bit colour.
Well, okay, I only have one - Grand Prix Manager. I know it's about seven years old or so, but every once in a while I like to pretend I'm Ron Dennis...
