Well, there's the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank of Canada, 
Toronto Dominion Bank, Bank of Montreal, Toyota, Honda, Bell Canada along with 
some parts of the Province of Ontario government among others.  BTW, the above
mentioned banks are all considerably larger than most U.S. banks.  Also,
whenever you use a money machine, you are probably using OS/2.  However, the
item I read mentioned a U.S. bank had made the big commitment recently and
asked for the 10 year support.  The article didn't mention which bank.


My take, after reading several networking and computer news magazines, is that
the organizations that have the resources to do their own evaluations tend to 
go with OS/2.  Those that depend on popular computer magazine articles buy NT. 
A few months ago, in one networking magazine, there was an article about how 
several companies had announced plans to go to NT networks, and then cancelled 
their plans.  It seems some executives had decided to go with NT after reading
articles about it, and then after the I.S. guys talked to them, the decision 
was reversed.

There have also been several contract major positions available in the Toronto 
area lately for conversion to OS/2 and OS/2 support.  So, it would appear 
there are several large corporate customers running OS/2.
