The best laugh is the fact that you are so ****ing stupid you don't
realize that if it's an ISO image you can use anything to burn it.

You're the joke, let no one make a mistake about that.

I read the documentation that was included, and it contains clear
instructions on how to burn the CD using Windows.

It worked here first time I tried it. I gave the CD to a number of
people, it worked on every machine it was tried on.

All I saw was a standard WPS desktop, with a number of extra features
that aren't part of OS/2. Given the difficulty you seem to have to
'install' a WPS object, it's no surprise that you don't seem to know
how the WPS desktop looks.

It did work one of two of my T30s. The second T30 has only 256meg of
memory so that may be the reason. It got as far as the "SNAP" screen
information then hung. The other T30 has 1gig of RAM and it came
right up. I don't know that the demo is supposed to run on every machine.
I don't have a Windows machine to try it on.

Serenity has never promoted eCS beyond the OS/2 community. The
Boob really has no desire to expand the eCS marketplace and are
more concerned with 'converting' the present OS/2 community
of users.

I was surprised by the aged SeaHaven offering the first time I saw
the demo (what a year ago???) and the calculator is quite cheesy.
There are far better calculators. I don't use Pixel so I won't offer
an opinion there.

Well, if you're on a dialup I'm not sure it is worth the time. On broadband
it might be a quick interesting look at eCS if you don't know what it is.
OTOH, it doesn't really help Serenity or eCS for that matter because it
does look quite dated and doesn't do a hell of a lot. I think the real
novelty here is that it actually boots from CD.

It would have been wiser of Serenity to produce a nice professionally
made 50-megged Flash v5 or v7 presentation that showed off eCS
(several dissolving desktops with all the wonderful apps we have today
including FireFox, Mozilla, Internet capabilities, etc. Would be awesome
to see a faux look at Embellish as an animated graphic is produced,
PMView rotating PNGs, NewsHarvest harvesting pictures, Felix Maschek's
highly stylized Solitaire card game (when I see an MS system and take
a look at their solitaire the Felix OS/2 offering is superior), Sane, PM123
and z! running (hey, they can add music to a Flash production), and
for calculators we could get a nice view of Peter Koller's fine Calc
program. So many other applications could be simulated that would
seriously make eCS (or even OS/2 for that matter) the new "must have"
application.

What so many outside of the OS/2 community don't understand or
realize is that we OS/2 users have no fear of riding the Internet.
There are no trojans, virus or worms to harm us.

And what about a quick running of a clip from a hit movie like
"Lord of the Rings" or the new "Wallace and Gromit" in WarpVision,
simulated, of course.

Personally I wanted to showoff the eCS demo to friends who know I
only use OS/2 and have touted it for years. A demo as I described
above, even as a Flash or animated GIF, would be much more
appealing than the eCS Demo now being offered by Serenity.
As it stands now I haven't passed it along to anyone outside of
the OS/2 community.

I think The eCS Guy is referring to the fact that such information
on the web site is directed at OS/2 users. Send one of your
"less enlightened" Linux or Windows friends to the site and they
will more than likely walk away believing the demo isn't for
their OS.

Well, it only worked 50% of the time on the two machines I
tried it on. I haven't passed it along to anyone primarily
because it is somewhat dowdy and doesn't do much to
enhance the world of OS/2 (or eCS for that matter).

Standard? This is a demo - a piece of marketing propaganda to sell
eCS. It should dazzle, not make people laugh. What WPS object did
The eCS Guy have trouble installing?

BTW, has Frank fixed his Calendar program so it updates automatically
without having to reboot your operating system on a daily basis? Holler
if he has. I'd like to give it another online evaluation.

Again, a reference to the Demo web page which instructs the downloader
on how to convert an ISO file to a working bootable CD using OS/2 and
RSJ.

Don't you eCS guys ever wonder why Serenity doesn't add three separate
links for each of the more prominent operating systems instead of just
limiting their marketing promotions to the OS/2 user? Doesn't that bother
you at all that Serenity insists on keeping eCS away from the Microsoft
and Linux user?

We complain like hell when we go to websites like Limewire or PMView
and they don't offer a set of separate links and instructions for OS/2 users
and yet, here we sit on our pompous asses, and refuse to peddle our
wares beyond the OS/2 community.

So why does the web site tell those who visit it to use RSJ for OS/2
to make the demo?

You'r a liar, plain and simple. Read news.ecomstation.nl and
you'll see 9 out of 10 posters who downloaded it found it wouldn't
install on their machines. Machines that are already running OS/2.

I have plenty of imagination as well as consumer knowledge. If

have it. They don't.

eCS is dead.

LOL! How come a Windows or Linux user has to download a pdf?
It is OBVIOUS Serenity doesn't want a Windows or Linux user to
even see the eCS DEMO. It's so poorly done I'm surprised they
even want the OS/2 user to see it!!!

Is THAT the best you can do? What a jerk you are! Tell that to the
potential Windows or Linux user who reads the stupid hype that eCS
"is the future of computing" then gets to the download site and finds
only instructions for OS/2 users. And those instructions say you gotta
use the native OS/2 CD copying software!

Geez, you guys are stupid!!! But what's worse is the two-bit demo
itself! It looks like a ten-year old's desktop.

What a joke the eCS Demo is!!!

If only you were right. But no, I go to the link at:

http://www.ecomstation.com/democd/

and it says:

Download ?
The download size of the CD is around 70 MB, and contains an ISO file
that you need to burn onto CD-Rom (instructions)

The 'instructions' at this link:

http://www.ecomstation.com/edp/mod.p...wer&faq_id=152


which is in the parentheses, then say:

[begin 'instructions' excerpt]
Q: How to create CDs from ISO files under eComStation?
A: Creating eComStation install CD's under OS/2 /eComStation with RSJ

You can also download the extended PDF version of this explanation

Before you start the download of the eComStation images make certain you
have enough diskspace. Each ZIP file requires between 400 to 550 MB of
diskspace. In addition, the ISO file also needs to be unzipped. (An ISO
file for a CD has a maximum size of 650 MB).

The following instructions apply only if you have installed the
commercial CD ROM burn software RSJ for OS/2/eComStation (this is
available from www.rsj.de)
[end 'instructions' excerpt]

I didn't download the pdf file so it may actually talk about Windows but
the leadin certainly does not sound to me to be very inviting to non-eCS
users since it presumes that you have RSJ and OS/2 or eCS already
installed so it looks to me like the demo CD is aimed at existing OS/2
and eCS users. Maybe they are supposed to make copies of the demo CD
and then go around evangelizing and giving them away to their
Windows/Linux/Mac-using acquaintances. Or maybe the demo CD is a trojan
to survey the OS/2 users system and send info to someone.
Whatever.

you are correct here the lead in does not mention windows only rsj os/2/ecs
you have to read the pdf to see windows instructions and it covers using
nero to creqate the image

Download the pdf and read the instructions, if you're that stupid and do not
know how to burn an iso image that's your problem not mine.

BINGO! That's the whole enchalada right there! Serenity isn't going
to promote eCS to anyone but their own OS/2 customers. They are going
to leave it up to their own OS/2 customers to go out and "sell" eComStation.
Everybody's supposed to be a damn salesman! What a damn cheesy
outfit!

BaaaWAAAA!

Wait wait wait here tough guy. You're calling me stupid and claiming
I do not know how to burn an iso image???

What the hell is that? Is that what you tell someone who thinks
they are getting a demo after spending a million hours downloading
a 70 meg file?

What kind of chump are you? I got friends who love Windows
and still can't find a damn file they download. One guy called
me up and asked me how to copy a DVD and when I told him
he had to have a DVD burner and a decryptor program to
descramble the file which once decrypted ended up as an
ISO file that would then require another software program to
reduce it in size so it could fit on a 4.7Gig blank DVD and
once that process was done he would have to have a third
program just to turn and burn the ISO to DVD!

He said "what are you talking about? I just want to save a
movie I rented from the video store because I don't have
time to see it and will have to return it. Won't my DVD
player copy it like my VCR does???? ..."

And you, Mr. Know-it-all, come in here and call me stupid
because you say I don't know how to copy an ISO file?

Blow it out your top hat Mr. Magoo.

Good. We agree on that. Now why don't you get IBM's OS/2 Warp 4.52
and install it instead? You'll be much happier.

Maybe I would, but you see... IBM's OS/2 Warp is dead. At least it
will be for end users coming december. Meanwhile Serenity Systems is
preparing a next major update of eComStation and that will be
available through next year and beyond. This really should be an easy
choice for everyone who wants to continue using OS/2.

But coming december should put a stop to your dilemma : start checking
out Windows Vista: you'll need it.

What gets me you were too lazy to read the pdf file on how to burn an iso
image using os2 and windows, and you then complain about it. I didn't
realise Mr. Magoo had a top hat.

I would if it would work, since ecs is based on 4.52 what would it do for
me.
