Tom, Booth,

What was the hubbub about OS/2 a couple of years back? IBM dropped some level of support for it, which caused a lot of banks to start looking for alternatives. (I saw an OS/2 Warp screen on my bank's ATM once, rebooting during a crazy power on/off see-saw).

But what I've been pondering is the thought of IBM getting active with it again. Maybe the time is becoming right to bring focus back to it. It is still for sale from IBM AFAIK. It was the last time I looked.

Not positioned quite like they did back then; in a somewhat different way.
