I B 1 2......    OS/2 is what Windows could have been but failed because
of lack of support.

In the last few years that I was with the Feds in the early 1990s I had
two computers on my desk - the Uncle's Win3 box and my OS/2 box -
interconnected via a switch box in lieu of a KVM device.  I would do my
work on the OS/2 machine and sneaker-net it on 3-1/2" floppies to the
Win machine for storage or transmission - this was long before the
current paranoia about using personal equipment for agency work.  My
machine had an effective anti-virus, the Uncle's machine did not!  I had
the same sort of setup in my private practice               office with
an NT machine up until OS/2 became too difficult to administer.

Memories......
