Bad example. OS/2 *IS* nonsense. IBM found out that just about everyone
who ever wanted a PC or compatible has one by now (including my Dad, maybe
he'll figure out how to boot it someday.), and the only way they can make
money on PC's is to make all those users think they need to spend big bucks
on software, hard disks, and extra RAM to retain that "compatibility". Not
only that, they then find out that even their high-speed AT-286 ain't fast
enough, and they gotta upgrade to a 386. OS/2 is a plot to sell more
hardware.
