decided yet). 

Requirements are set out in 3 month rollovers. 

Anyone interested???? Please contact Michael Garlepp mikeg at ora dot com dot au

I am making an educated guess the Olympus with its W2k software will
save as MP3 format, then your suggestion below would be fine.

Here is the whole post.  Since the IBM Web Browser is based on an old
build of Mozilla, is that vulnerable to this exploit?

Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020602 tested and
found vulnerable:

+ Overview:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mozilla allows running Malicious Scripts due to a bug in 'FTP view'. If
you click on a malicious link, the script embedded in URL will run.

* If the ftp server and the http server are the same address, it is 
dangerous.
  Because the cookie may be modified by the attacker.

[Moderator note: The site states the work around is "Use the latest
version of Mozilla 1.1 Beta or disable JavaScript."  I'm using a recent
nightly drop of Warpzilla so the exploit demonstration doesn't work for
me.  So I am passing this on without verification.]

Subject:  [os2genau] Small cache of memorabilia

I've just unearthed a few pieces of OS/2 memorabilia that should be
shared around. I have 5 of each of the following:

Sticker 28.5 x 7.5cm Red on white OS/2 bubble logo (7.5cm d) white on
black text "If my car ran on OS/2 I'd be there already!"

Sticker 11 x 10cm White b/g Red text " I surfed the internet at the IBM
stand" and "OS/2 warp" plus some groovy looking lines etc.

Pencil cup 25 x 11 cm packed flat assembles to 11h x 8d cylinder, black
b/g multi-colour OS/2 "champagne bubbles" Text "operate at a higher
level" (I have used one of these as a pencil holder since ~'93, still
working, just like OS/2 :).

If you'd like something from the above for the cost of postage let me
know. (SASE or COD, though COD will cost you more).

Dear Bob,

I would be most grateful to get one of each.  However, I know the demand
may be quite high, so if I had to just pick one item, it would be the
pencil holder.  I will be happy to cover all expenses incurred with
shipping to me in the US.  Please let me know how you would like to receive
payment, PayPal, VISA, MC, check, etc.  Thanks!

Yours truly,
