Note: MultiDesk will let you have multiple desktops and users under OS/2. While it is still in early beta stages, it already lets you create, delete and manage desktops; define users; customize environment, video resolution, etc for each user; lock some files from other users' eyes; etc.. Desktops and users are created with an easy to use management tool.

A few days ago, ODP (Open Directory Project) has placed an editor (me) in the OS/2 category. It seems like most sites there were added about two years ago, and some of the sites have moved since then. I could use some help: please add those sites, which you think are an absolute must for every OS/2 user around. And be honest: the best sites probably aren't the ones you've built yourselves... (unless, of couse, you get thousands of hits a day!) Please use the 'add URL' or 'update URL' links at the most appropriate subcat of OS/2, so I don't have to sort them all way around... Keep those URL's coming!
