Hey you may be right, my Windows 2000 PC still has an OS2 directory! ;-)

Oh, those OS/2 days. It was really really nice having an OS that actually knew
what multitasking was.  Even under Windows 2000, Microsoft is still struggling
with it.  On my PC, I can click on a web link in Outlook and while Internet
Explorer is starting up, I can't do anything in Outlook. And I don't have a slow
machine. Yeah that is multitasking.
